Dragan,
That's called a
"sealed move". It's used primarily in tournaments when play must be suspended due to the end of the playing day, a power outage, time restraint or other non-playing situation; it's also used when players are playing a game by snail mail over long distances without the aid of computers.
This technique was brought to light during the Bobby Fischer - Boris Spassky matches back in the 1970's. Because there were no player clocks used, each move took far longer than a normal game.
HTH.
