That's a classic, starwraith ... you certainly got a laugh from me.  Losing can be painful but sometimes the position compensates for it.

But it's interesting that your friend is dubbed mr_osmosis because I posted a piece about learning chess by osmosis.  You might enjoy it: http://blog.chess.com/Dozy/osmosismdashchess-mastery-made-easy

haha Dozy!  I agree this may be the funniest game of chess i've seen!  Thanks a lot for posting, it's good you can see the humor in losing this game.  One of the most fun games I've ever played was against a friend OTB -- I will copy and paste what I had written the day after:

"mr_osmosis and I had a game last night (as we are neighbors), along with a few beers and some online poker.  It was a bit of a celebration because I'm graduating with an accounting degree tomorrow! 

He got to play the white pieces while I took black.  Opened with the Sicilian defense and I believe he played the Bc4 line (e6, etc...).  It was slow to start but ended in fireworks.  I got careless and hung my QUEEN on the back rank, but surprisingly the game went on to an exciting finish.  At one point it was my two bishops vs. his two knights -- all four pieces lined up head to head on the queen side; (Nc3, Nc4, Bc5, Bc6) so it was going to be the battle of the minor pieces. [very cool to look at, never had a position arise quite like this] He was up two pawns at this point.  Anyway, after I hung my queen it ended up as my two rooks and two bishops vs. his Queen, rook, and knight.  I came up with a sequence to pin his queen to his king using my rook and bishop.  He captures my bishop with the queen, i capture the queen -- even he thought he was screwed at this point -- next move he checkmates me on the back rank (looking very surprised himself as the rook landed), capturing my rook with his.  We both had a great laugh.

Even though I lost it was one of the most fun games I've ever played.  I will also note that while this game went on, I won $135 on Pokerstars!! "

davejitsu: My brain may be to small for 960

LOL ... Tell me about it!  :-(

On the other hand, now I have half a dozen games under my belt I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable.  It's a weird way to play chess, though.

My brain may be to small for 960

acemaster56: Isn't that the Famed windmill  or does it require a discovered check from a bishop or queen behind the knight.

It certainly is, acemaster.  I've never seen it done with a knight but it's definitely a windmill.  They're so rare, and so entertaining to watch, that I thought this was worth posting -- even if I was on the receiving end. Thanks for the comment.

Nice !

I've heard of the Bouncing bishop attack, but not this.

Crazy knight.

Wow! Some game!
