      That wasn't attacking the bishop iirc. Forgetting what a piece used to defend is also a common mistake, but not just for rookies (though it's usually more than 1 move out at higher levels).
      Attacking a piece without calculating where it can go is different.

      Well, phases of the game (opening, finish) were just played too well for a 1100 player. Levy's 1600 guess seemed very sensible to me, and I might go as low as 1300, but below that Elo I would be rather suspicious of that play. It's not just that these were random good moves, the moves showed an insight into chess 1100s do not possess. A 1300 who blunders too often might create games like this, but an 1100?
