Okay, I know that I'm going to come across as a raw beginner who has no clue.  I'd like to think that my other games are less embarassing. 

I was challenged to a game on another site.  I accepted it and proceeded to play my worst game ever. I can hear the Benny Hill theme song in my head when I replay this game.  In this game is what I believe to be the biggest blunder I have ever seen in all my sproadic years of chess.

Post-game computer analysis showed that on 13.d3, the score went from +156.50 to -156.50 in one move! That's a difference of 313 pawns!

It takes a remarkable amount of bad blunder-karma to be down 156 and a half pawns in 12 moves.  And it takes a single atomic blunder bomb to destroy it.  Worst game ever.

Anyone else have any profound examples of a single blunder completely turning around a hopelessly lost game?

It sure seems so doesn't it.  I won't bore you guys with my silly games anymore.  I just found it funny.

I heard someone say one time...You always know what the outcome is when you resign, so why not play on.  you never know. 

Ansd to all of those that constantly post "Why do people play on in "hopelessly lost" positions"  This is why!

Wow, I played a game today where I resigned, I was a knight down and his knight just succeeded in forking my only two remaining pieces ( 2 rooks, I still had pawns left, but none were passed) and he had his 2 rooks on the back rank of the centre 2 files waiting to checkmate me when I took off my rook on the bottom rank. I saw this as hopeless, but my team were angry at me for resigning and I should have at least tried for a stalemate. After this I think they were right.

I like to play on in lost positions to an extent.  This situation was so unique that I played on to see what would happen.  A part of me wanted to watch the carnage.  The same part of me likes action movies with explosions.
