I was just looking at a series of chess matches when I came upon this one, http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1339137 , a stalemate occuring in only ten moves. It actaully happened 12 years ago in a tournament game in 1995, and because of the extreme unlikliness of any of the moves occuring in the order they did, it is most obvious that the whole match was planned out ever before it started.

Both of these games clearly demonstrate what a complex and wonderful game chess is.
