So what indeed am I supposed to think?
I post the following game because of the strange way in which my opponent suddenly went from playing like an expert, to playing like someone who has just recently learned chess.
Please note that such a sudden transformation in chess-playing ability simply doesn't just happen. You either know how to play chess well, or you don't.
So what indeed am I supposed to think? What would you think?
