It was once said that "the loser always wins the post-mortem".

Especially around the <2000 level, this couldn't be more true.  As beautiful a game as chess is when you win, there are times where overlooked wins are nothing short of crushing.

What you're about to see is my worst oversight in my OTB tournament history.  Feel free to mock and jeer! :P.

 

And take a look at the move list for the correct follow up to what may well have been my most brilliant moment of intuition ever.
