Post your blunders

@FantasticTricks what kind of opening were you trying there?

@TGBM95 I was trying to play the Latvian Gambit as black.. But blundered horribly and got crushed in 7 moves..

Blundering a classic Q+B castle mate. This one from three weeks ago.

Then again, after 17...Qxb2 18. Qxd7 my position is still pretty bad, so this doesn't quite fit my own criteria.

Old blunder from six months ago, where I figured I was in zugzwang and gave up. But actually a draw can be produced with 47...e5 48. fxe5 f4 49. e6 Kg7, because White can be distracted by the passed f-pawn which is cunningly fenced off by the h-pawn controlling G4. Still, I was a 1200 then and it's not an easy calculation even now.

I just gave my piece for free.....

Here's a lesson on how to make your king disappear.



Don't play around with your opponent on low time controls.

The best way to lose when you have attack.....

@FantasticTricks

I lost in 9 moves in a correspondence game due to a serious tactical overlook. In a correspondence game!

That's just plain embarrassing...

HELLO, DID ANYONE SERIOUSLY NOT HEED MY STUDY INSTEAD OF FORUM SUGGESTION!
