If it was one blunder maybe but the sides continued to blunder so I am practically sure that the moves were not played and it is more logical to guess that the sides were in time trouble and forgot to write the moves or that the people who copied the moves for got to copy. I play against significantly weaker players and I do not remember optical illusion like that. The probability for it to happen to both players is too small to have reasonable doubt about it so I am sure that the moves that were posted were not played in the game. I remember only one case some years ago when the opponent left the queen in the wrong square so I captured his queen(he tried to correct it and said that he did not mean to put it on that square and I believe him but the rules say that if you left the queen on e2 even for only 1/4 second it is your problem even in case that you meant to put it at d2). That tournament was active chess(30 minutes per game) and I know that a player with rating near 2000 does not leave his queen at distance of one from my rook on purpose. Unfortunately I have not enough time to win that game and that game was drawn but without the queen I could lose the game because of not having enough time. Uri
