I saw it today - don't understand what is to be gained - apart from lower rated players picking up a few points.

Message:
The link heinzkat posted goes to a "not found" mini tournament.
Was the starting position something like 1. g4 e5 2. f3?

It was something like this
1. e4 d5
2. Qh5 d4
3. Bc4 e5
(I only cast a single view on the board. I can't remember how the pawns were arranged, but the 4th move was 4.Qxf7#)

If I recall correctly, this is what it was (I'm remembering that knight 'maneuver'): 1. e4 Nc6 2. Qh4 Nb8 3. Bc4 e5
In any case, it's basically nothing more than rating manipulation or someone with a really bad sense of humor. Every time I see this, gk ends up taking action like this.
