I've often said it's best to play a human than a box.
However a box will never do this to you.
Sarah Anton (1718) – Paul Broekhuyse (2118), Sydney International Open 2009
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.

These guys need to know the rules of the chess and also should try to understand the difference between a Knight and a Bishop 😛

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...

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?
Or maybe it's considered a win for the other player.

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.
