In this category I will post games and ideas that seems to be as easy as whirlwinds move feathers - and at the same time as gather a bag of these feathers thrown to the four winds.
The feature game will be recent one. Why not? For everyone knows at least one miraculous piece of art from die Klassikeren.
It was played at the Gashimov Memorial 2015.
The teacher: Wesley So.
The assistant (who helped create this masterpiece): Rauf Mamedov.
You can have a computer analysis (usually only for a short time) at

Anyway, wonderful play on the one hand, inexplicable behaviour on the other.
When playing at the U.S. Championship 2015 Wesley So just could not resist taking notes. First on his score sheet, then on his cup (!). No wonder he's been forfeited. No arbiter should decide otherwise. In fact, they were way to fair with him by notifying him twice beforehand. Worth mentioning that these were only short motivating phrases, but still!

Just imagine this below would be on a scoresheet
The connection between ZEN and the rules would be an exciting topic to unfold.
In the meanwhile, FIDE Laws of Chess is really worth studying.
