I guess people have different opinions on this, but missing a forced win and going on to lose has gotta be the worst. I'm playing one game like that now, but it's in progress. I'll post it when it's done.
I feel sick now... :'(

I think that's why a lot of people on the internet don't improve, or aren't as sharp OTB as on the internet: when you lose a game here, another one is just a click away, so what does it matter. If you can generate real passion for this form of play, it's a great sign.

I get that upset feeling too and it's so much worse to blunder when playing OTB. You have to deal with your own thoughts, comments from your opponents, spectators, etc. This can really make someone feel depressed after having spent so much time and mental energy on a given game just to throw it away with a blunder or two. I guess this is good in the end, because you can use these harsh feelings to be focused for the next game to make sure you don't commit the same mistakes.

I almost saved it too... tried so hard for perpetual check but he kept his focus.
Game 3308626
Enjoy.
