Why forfeit? Just bring a bucket to the game! Might even cause your opponent resign! Laughing

Lost connection. It's the most infuriating of experiences, especially in superior positons.

Opponent pulls out a tommygun, and makes you a draw/resign offer you cannot refuse.....

Nakamura lost on time in a very embarassing way.

Losing to a girl. Ehh..., don't say that. Gender has nothing to do with chess.

I haven't lost to a girl yet (OTB, I have 1 draw and the rest wins.  I can't tell gender online though, so I don't see those as counting), but I've played a few games that were difficult to concentrate through...  And you comment does sound sexist.  Perhaps you should rephrase it or explain why losing to a girl is so bad?

I had an opponent who was nearly 200 points above my rating here on chess.com.

Game was down to Queens and Pawns, him being up a pawn which also was a passed pawn close to promoting.

Then he made a bad move allowing me to perma-check him. It was like 14 checks in a row, no repetition as he was wandering all over the board with his king.

Then he insulted me in spanish or so. At that moment I didn't know it was an insult since I had no time to google what he wrote. I assumed that it was some sort of draw offer or so.

So I offered him a draw. He rejected. 2 moves later he made a terrible blunder by moving his king away from his queen after I did a skewer on them. He surrendered before I could take his queen.

So he went from clearly winning to drawing to getting mad at me to losing.

I bet this lose must've felt very terrible for him.

Personally I'm not getting too emotional over my own losses that I's really call them memorably bad.

Mabye that one game against an old chess-teacher. He gained an advantage and then "punished" me for not surrendering by giving me small bits of hope and playing less than ideal moves. After the game he admited that he totally inteded to torture me by doing so. Always having that "oh, that move of his was bad. Maybe I can come back." but it's just not enough because it was all planned by him.

But the lesson was learned. I now surrender much earlier when I'm behind in material and not seeing any compensation.

being checkmated within 10 moves by someone with a lower rating than you (rating-300 or over). Then they mock you calling you a noob

Missing mate in one against Vishy Anand looks pretty rough...
