Greenpawn eek thy post does not compute.

Here is a move that was actually played.
One of the best trap ever set on the chessboard - therefore one
of my favourites.
Craddock-Mieses, London (1939 or 1951 - depends on what source you look at)
The beauty being is that White had to be a reasonable player to fall for it.
Black to play.
Mieses nudged the a8 Rook to b8 with his pinkie.
White looked 4 moves ahead. Mieses had seen ahead 9 moves.
I love the move 8...Bc5 clearing the b-file

I'll nominate [b]34...Re8 as played by Kaissa.
Duchess - Kaissa. Computer W.C. Toronto, 7th August 1977.
The day computers came of age.
Black - Kaissa(in check) to play.
