[Game log #75]
Here's the game between Iori and Mick from chapter 134 featuring a Meadow Hay Mistake. If you're savvy with the chess world, you might have heard that Grandmaster Brandon Jacobson infamously played this move and it's black counterpart against Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, won, and got banned for suspected cheating, even though he didn't cheat. Inspired, Magus Carlson ended up trying the move for all 11 games of Chess.com's Early Titled Tuesday on May 7th 2024. He ended up earning 8.5 out of 11 possible points. As a result, debate has stirred on the Meadow Hay's true potential, but it is definitely a difficult move to master, much like the Bongcloud. Iori's rating has also increased to 1344, which fits her personality perfectly.
