The dangers of being complacent

    Here I had a won game (or at least a draw). All I had to do was to wait for a lull in the checking, start checking myself till I get into a queen exchange position, and I'm a pawn ahead plus king is centralised.

    Problem was I became complacent and didn't really think where I'm moving my king. In one fell swoop I went from elation to deflation...

    I missed the Qxc3 on move 23 - and of course the Kd8 at the end. Embarassed

    Another brain fart. I don't know what I was thinking when I played 50.h4 instead of h3.

    Actully, upon reflection, it would have been a draw.
