Huh?

Some chess games just make you wonder...


Here is the final position from a recent FICS game starting 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Na5 4.Bxf7+. Obviously White never recovered his sacrificed piece, but in the end it did not matter.

Can any conclusion be drawn from the names of the players, CaptainAndy vs SickJoke?



 
Never giving up takes on new meaning with the above position from the game thmavz - fatoldman, FICS, 2010. It started out like a "normal" Jerome Gambit, too! 

How White restrained himself from Queening that g-pawn is beyond me...
