The aussies defended their slip ups (on chessvibes.com, where the article about these weird knight jumps is located) by stating that in Australia the knight is a kangeroo, which moves like a knight with one additional square diagonally.

However a box will never do this to you.

White to play.

White played 54.Nd7+ and Black resigned. The result stood.
A finger slip or a 'try' I've no idea idea.
I suspect a slip possibly deep in an allegro finish.
This reminds me of the time when I friend and I were playing in the pub one night rather late, and we went into the ending with him having the bishop pair.
Sad part was, both of his bishops were on the same color squares, and we're not sure how long we played like that before we noticed.
In our defense, we were also involved in a host of unbishop-like activities...
Originally posted by ParShooter There must be a lot of this in blitz and bullet. If a player makes an illegal move in the midst of rapid play, what can be done?
Other player stops clock and challenges the move no?
Or maybe it's considered a win for the other player.

Australians could also defend the move by stating that, as a country of alcoholics, they're less apt at the sober game
