Yes, but there is no reason for White to play 23.Ng1. 22...Rd8 23.Red1 and Black may want to find something else to do.

Oops... 23.Red1 is perhaps the only way out. White's ridiculous plan of getting his Rook to b1 lets the Black minor pieces to celebrate and attack the corner.

How is this the best chess game ever played??

@jkarp: 'the best game ever played' if you define 'best' by mate in the fewest moves, is indeed the fool's mate: 1.f3/f4 e6/e5 2.g4?? Qh4# (note that 1.g4 and 2.f3??/f4?? also works).

That's not checkmate, and there is a possible checkmate in two for black: 1. f4 e6 2. g4 Qh4#

To me, there is no best chess game ever played. If I learn something from my chess game, then it is my best, and honestly, that would be every chess game I've ever played. I hope everyone understands here that whether your game ends in five to a hundred moves, or you lose your game in two or more moves, you've learned something new for the most part.

I strongly agree with binblaster. @strepsil99:I would not consider my best game, if I were playing it. In addition, this is not the best game, ever. The best game involves a Fool's Mate, where you mate your opponent in two moves. At least, that is what I-d-j has told me. In addition, I played a game against woustra, and that was much better. In fact, it was my best game. I annotated the game against him, and the annotation is shown in the link below. gameknot.com @chesskingdom64:I strongly agree with your assessment. However, you learn even more, after you have annotated. This is especially true, if you did not play well.
