What is the worse loss that you have suffered here at chess.com?

Queen trade, with an interposed time delay of a few days.  So when I come back and see the board, out of context, and cannot recall the past move, all I see is the opponent queen on my king.  My king could have just taken it back, but I forgot, panicked, and moved my king away.  A second after I hit submit I remembered, and just resigned out of disgust.

Oh, sorry, did I start all this dialogue?  Let's see, I can't recall the rating -- it's been about a year now -- but I think it was close to what mine was at that time.  Not like I was winning anyway, but it still pissed me off.

Yeah throwing a game away that you had in hand is always frustrating.

I lost many  'won' games , and will keep on  doing so I'am afraid . Mostly because of rushing trough my games and make a big mistake . Don't we all do that ?

The worst losses I've suffered here, by far, are from low-rated players who CHEAT by using chess engines =/

If low rated players  are using chess-engines and cheat  they would not be low rated . I think that you just lost against somebody lower rated because he played better then you . Accept your loss buddy  ,if you have an engine you're probably the cheater and are rated to high .

When this screw came out of my computer stand and lost it, I still can not find it I have to use a pencil to keep my key board level. That's the worst loss I have suffered here up too now.
