Siege wackiness

This is the game that ended seanpbutler's 27-game domination of the red 1-day-timeout siege board: Game 639530. He went out with a bang!

I suspect that this is the first time on RHP that a 1300 player has checkmated an 1800 player in 13 moves.

"Chess blindness", that accursed malady, strikes again!!!

Chess blindness? Perhaps. Or perhaps this thread holds the answer:

That's like one of the biggest blunders I've ever seen, even on blitz I've never seen mistakes like that, what was he thinking? BTW, white's opening was very bad, and he really didn't deserve to result he got, but c'est la vie, I guess.
