We are around our 30 now, live far apart, but still do basically the same through discord every once in a while. I can 100% imagine 2 GMs just hanging out in discord, getting drunk together and blasting through dozens of chess matches, practicing endgames till the morning.

      Is this an example of that? It's literally impossible to know for certain. That is _why_ it's impossible to guarantee the innocent will be exonerated. Without magical psychic powers, there will always be uncertainty and edge cases between certain guilt and certain innocence.

    Hmm, who knows? What this smells like to me is a decent player who's testing their own engine, likely a fork of a publicly available one. You can play at any speed you like if the engine is coded to make the moves directly. Better yet the speed of play and the depth the engine plays can then be set dynamically in response to how 'hard' the position is. Why the same 'odd' opening every time? I suspect partly for the LOLs, partly to test the dynamic engine depth, but mostly because an unusual opening will make it harder to spot which engine is being used.
    Why?
    If my wild guess is correct, this isn't 'cheating' it's a 'programming exercise'.

    I think I know what was going on there, Levy.
    Due to Magnus and one or two other notables using such moves, a certain strong player decided to use it and mix having an engine play out the game, AND occasionally THEY play out the game. The point was to see if such a maneuver could win at the highest levels. Whoever was doing it is probably compiling a list of gm responses, vs engine responses, so they can understand both winning and losing ideas in the opening and subsequent moves. With the aim of using it in their own games, but whether against strong opponents or weaker opponents, to be decided by the analysis afterwards.
    Possible suspects would include certain top grandmasters, but could include a lower ranked grandmaster that remains more anonymous. AND could include a 'team' effort; a strong lower ranked player doing it for another stronger player for analysis.
    Regardless, the games are a matter of record, so anyone exploring the analysis to see if such moves could be used in say, titled Tuesday, well now there is deniability, they could simply claim to have looked at it and decided it would be fun.
    Very sneaky. 😄

    The reason for giving up the rook is that the Queen rook doesn’t come into the game till later whereas the white bishop is an attacking piece earlier on. So it’s a gamble to eliminate an active piece for a passive piece in the hope that you win the game in the middle game.
