Chess.com's Biggest Blunders

haha - I like what Rae1 said. That's me! I'm like Capn Kirk here on the Enterprise with my three monitors. The little 15.5" on the right is for my SCID database where I keep track of all my games. The 22" in the middle is for what I'm currently looking at or working on and the 20" on the left is for online databases and clocks and timers and calenders and news pages, email, NASA TV... all that stuff. And I forgot to mention, I've got a 10.1" netbook sitting on the desk in front of the monitors. And I want so bad to have a iPAD but the wife says no!. There's never enough.

Tell me! But it should be known that the 10.1" netbook was for her. She needed it so badly to help her with her schoolwork that we simply had to buy it. But she never used it. Now it sits on MY desk and if she ever wanted to use it I would have to show her how. I should probably try to convince her that an iPAD would help her keep up with the latest on Brad and Angelina.

How's the iPAD shaping up?

No IPAD as yet Frown

I wonder what Black's preceding move was?

TheGrobe

Clearly a blunder, as he either left his King in check, or moved his King into it.

I think that t'is Black to a move, yo!

It says, "White to move" but it also says "1-0" which means the game is over and any move is senceless, useless and probably illegal unless you play LIKE THIS.

Well, I don't know, dude. Does wearing a headscarf make it OK?

wormrose

If Black has a Queen on the 8th rank doesn't that make it a Queen?

TheGrobe

I assume that you're suggesting allowing black pieces on a board with black squares is one of chess.com's blunders?

I agree.

Cystem_Phailure

It would be great if I could force my opponent to use that board when I had Black.  It provides a cloaking device for the pawns half the time.

TheGrobe

More than half if you preferentially place them on black squares.
