My worst blunder was trying to pass off a google image as myself. This brought the RHP microscope to me and the results were not good. I created other personas to defend myself, but just dug myself deeper into a hole... Oh wait that wasn't me 😛

I'm curious to know how many of his personalities thumbed me down. Not that I care, I couldn't resist the joke. KP is a valuable contributor to the forum via chess or entertainment in regards to finding out who he really is. I have already received some blowback messeges. If you can't take a joke, stay off the forums people.

Any time we attempt humor, some people will think it's funny, and some won't. I think it's probably best to simply accept that, and not worry about it.
I appreciate your sentiment of "If you can't take a joke, stay off the forums people", but we can easily replace the word "joke" with "thumbs down", and the thought is still relevant.
Just my opinion, but I think you should consider a post with multiple thumbs up and down as something people bothered to read, and felt moved to react to. Apathy is the only true enemy here.

Rab8 was a classic, early Sunday morning hangover move. I have a couple other massive blunders but I catch them the moment after I have hit the submit button. I think it is something about the refresh of the page forces me to "see" the position fresh.

Originally posted by Paul LeggettI think you misunderstand me. I am not upset in any way that the post was thumbed down. I respect everyone's right to opinion. I just wondered how many KP personas thumbed it down. It was merely another attempt at poor humor.

You are right, the post did go off topic. No worries.
Cheers.

I'm sure I have posted this game a few times before, but it suits this thread so well. It was played years ago, back when I was rated around 1300.
Oh, how I miss the days of being a lowly 1300 rated player. When "lost" games always had a chance for a come back. Dropping a piece and still having winning chances. No calculation, no evaluation, no analyze board or opening databases, just pushing wood and hoping for the best. Ah the good ol days.

In keeping with the thread here's one of my recent hiccups. I lost a pair of moves going from my analysis to the actual game, and I did not even realize I had hung my queen until it was my move again.

The absence of working mechanisms result in the forums as being the only option left for protest.
