Lost in 8 moves

I just lost a game in 8 moves. Not bragging. Just sorta humiliated and need to share my pain.

I once beat a 2000+ player in nine moves, in an OTB tournament game.

Gibeau (three times champion of France) once lost in four moves.

Isn't that the first game in Chernevs classic 1001 miniatures?  Or whatever its called?

Pretty sure the well known Gibaud-Lazard game didn’t actually happen

Thanks man. Embarrassingly, I never even saw it coming.  I was defending other moves and, well... I'm a noob, I know it, but still I should have seen that.

A Monkey can't see anything playing in the Snow.

Well that means any loss after 8 moves is an improvement!!!!    The sky is the limit!!

Enjoy the journey!

I have won untold games from this position which occurs after e4 c5 Nf3 d6 c3 Bg4 d4 cxd4 cxd4 Nc6.....after d5! Ne5?? Nxe5!! Bxd1 then comes the suckerpunch Bb5+!.....it then continues Qd7 Bxd7 Kd8 Nxf7+ Kxd7 Kxd1 and the rook on h8 goes

One does not learn how to shoot hoops without missing a lot of practice shots.....  And as beginner/novice there is lots of room for improvement and the thrill of learning.

too true!  Especially when u blow a lead........

You think that's bad, I later lost in four moves.
