Strange Game

What the hell? How did ( WHITE'S ) rating increase after a loss? That is really weird. I think perhaps he knew this would happen and probably why he resigned in one move???
But I don't think that he knew that , because He took 33 seconds to resign
If he knew that his rating will increase , He would resign after 2 or 3 seconds
Maybe it had something to do with his rating being 791. I mean, the scale when selecting ratings for rated games only goes down to 800; maybe some deep magic exists to get him back over the cusp.
Also, your title made me think of the fitting Wargames quote:
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"
