1001 GoGoD games for your Coffee Break #46 (11/03/2013)

This week I have two games that start funny, two that end strangely and one that is just strange all around. That is where I’ll start.
The White player here was the Amateur Kuksu and later turned pro (he reached 9-dan in 2005), but the magazine arranging the game matched him against somebody with exactly the same name (i.e. written with the same characters) and then they found a third amateur with the same name to do a commentary. Prefiguring a common feature of today’s internet servers and kibitzers, the commentator was weaker than either of the players.
Best wishes.
