Years ago (not telling you how many, look at my profile and work it out!) at secondary school I endured that humiliating experience of being caught out by Fool's Mate. Not a good advert for the school chess club, and what made it worse was that I was playing in an inter-house chess competition at the time!
Anybody else out there been a fool, or have you made any catastrophic blunders you would care to share? I won't tell anybody, honest!
By the way, we came last.
I was once in a blitz tiebreak for 1st. I hate blitz, and less than 20 moves into the game I made an illegal move (The rules were once you make an illegal move it's over). That was pretty bad..
yup. In the majors section (1200-1600) of a tournement i lost in like 8 moves or so i think. PLaying a nine year old or so. He is very good and i beat him the previous time i played him but man its as if i wanted to give him checkmate.embarasses i was!
i once played this...
i wasn't actualy a complete begginner at the time... luckily it was against my friend and only he saw it...
