Martin created so many memorable and unique moments in this, this is truly one for the ages. White's king going on a leisurely stroll while his kingdom is shattered, the double en-passant not being taken, black's queen surviving for so long only to be left out to dry, the list goes on.

Honestly, never missing Mate in One is an impressive skill.
