Shit happens.
And yes, always analyze the situations. Even if you are winning the opponent may still make dangerous moves.

This is probably the worst game in my life. This was a correspondence game, so it makes things even worse. I got really upset after 34...h5, when I saw that I could've improved my position by, say, 34...Bd8+ 35.Kxf5 Rb5+. So, I got very emotional and this is probably why I missed the mate in one. I even thought about giving up chess after this game.
But then I took a deep breath and calmed down. I've learned a very important lesson: never get lazy and stop thinking when you have a winning position.
