The game has beautiful symmetrical threat, distracting both players' attention away. Then the awaited magical moment happened:

Realdeadleaf(1692) 1-0 HerbyW(1557)
1. g3 g6 2. Bg2 Bg7 3. Bxb7# { White wins by checkmate. } 1-0

Final position:

If chess rules allowed black to play Bxb2, both kings would be checkmated!
