That's a pretty funny game. I suspect it's not often that Black has the luxury of enough tempos to be able to shift his short-castled king to his queenside to avoid White's kingside attack. Although I appreciate the humor in your post, I feel it's necessary to point out that Black didn't quite achieve the standard queenside castle position, as the black king was on b8 and the rook was on c8. On the other hand, maybe we could call this a case of castling "super long". 😉
