Should I quit chess after this move?

No, we all have bad games. I am curious though, after move #23. ... Nb4 why you didn't advance those two centre pawns? You had good support from the Knight, Bishop, Rook and Queen with White's King in the centre fully exposed. I think pushing those pawns with the support they have that they would be hard to stop.

I didn't realize that it gave my pawn a safe square, I brought my knight in to attempt to create checkmate opportunities

 

I had mate in one on the last move, but I instead blundered mate in one myself lol

A blunder isn't a reason to quit. Keep on playing buddy.

It happens, you'll learn a lot from that game though so no need to quit.

I would still play chess.  Everybody makes blunders from time to time.

So, you are either the second account of the O.P., or just dumb.

technical_knockout

i'm certainly not dumb & i don't have a second account... what could possibly motivate you to launch an unprovoked attack?

technical_knockout

i didn't click the OP's link... is that your prob, bob?

The most bizarre thing about Bf8 is that it is so unnatural. You have a mate-in-1 (Qxf1 mate), you have mate in 2 (1. - e2+ 2. Bxe2 Qxe2 mate). It is very hard to believe that any chess player even thinks of Bf8 as a candidate move. Except, if your purpose was to get checkmated, then good job.
