instead of 27.Bc2+,
27.Bf5+ Kg8
28.Rh8+ Kxh8
29.Qh1+...

Very nice. That's like a combo straight out of The Art of Attack in Chess by Vukovic. Here's the exact example, which I also used to help instruct a friend of mine...

DANG!!! I wasn't giving the game much thought since I was already a piece up. Thanks.

One morning before I was fully awake I decided to resign a game that I was sure to lose. Then I resigned the wrong game, which I was winning.

Game 1038717

I could see I was in major positional difficulties and was probably going to lose anyway, but to face checkmate after a straightforward trick like that...I had a fit of hysterical laughter and just switched the computer off, I was so disgusted with myself.

Heheheh, a few years ago I was helping my mom set up her new computer and I put some cool games on it - one of them being DOOM! 🙂

So she started playing it, but when one of the monsters was going to "kill" her, she quickly reached up and SHUT OFF THE COMPUTER!!!
🙁

I asked her why she did that!? and she said, "I wasn't going to let that monster get me!" 😲

I accidently got my queen taken on move 22, soon followed by my resignation:

Game 876556

For the record, I meant queen takes pawn at d3. I wonder what I was drinking then...?

If it makes you feel any better, I am losing my last group game against Quirine - so you and I will both still go through to the next round!

But you will have to wait a little while for that round. Seems a very unbalanced two groups on both ranking and speed.

As for my own worst moves, I've had rather a lot.


My 23rd move here is a good candidate, against a player who really doesn't need any extra help from myself.
Game 1056590

My 16th move here is another one.
Game 1059557

And finally for now, my 30th move here. Thankfully his 31st is quite possibly one of his worst too (this game is still in progess as I write).
Game 1051899
