ONE MOVE BLUNDERS IN CHESS (Chess lessons with akinov 3.0)

   In this Lesson we look at Blunders and their posible causes , there are games where a player has executed his opening play to come out with a good advantage in the middle game and again transit into a winning end game , but many of those games do not end in victories, sometimes you r opponent gets a draw or a win from a position that you have already sealed as won , most times this is due to ONE MOVE BLUNDERS . the example below is in a game played between the Current Nigerian National Champion  CM Bomo Kigigha and another National Master player Emmanuel M .  CM Bomo played the Black side playing the Qb6 sicilian defence which is quite solid and one of his favourites , he played the opening like a book and the Middlegame like a Magician, his transition into the endgame gave him a huge winning advantage on move 57 after his opponent played Qf1 . the Chess engine CRAFTY 20.14 gives Black a -3.25 advantage here and anything Black plays seems to be winning. it was at this point that Black made a fatal blunder
