    Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just a question of curiosity.

    1. reason
    Black made regular gaps between moves after 3rd, even with the obvious moves...
    2. reason
    Hm, feeling.

    My moves are sometimes - as usual - patzerish, but I had a "strange, cold feeling" like I am playing against a bot in dark, waste space 🙂 - and it wasn't a draught.

    If anyone has an engine to check?

    No engine I've seen wastes tempos like that.

    Not only not a very good engine, but not a very good opening book, either. Out of book on move 2.

    I think you're seeing engine ghosts.

    It's the Saragossa opening reversed, which was popular with some of the older engines.

    So? This is a correspondence site. I regularly check in only every day or so, and then I will spend a week looking at my games twice a day, and then go back to skipping days.

    I'd get that feeling recalibrated. No engine plays quite that randomly, unless you set it to 1-sec reaction times.
