     Here is a 3-minute 2-second blitz game I
played in which I let IM David Pruess win(hahaha).
      The first move by white caught me by surprise because if I captured back I would
lose my queen to a clever fork.
       At this point I was only down a pawn.  Here are the last 12 moves.  Oh well, at least this time I made it 29 moves before he checkmated me!

I have no idea why I played that third move Rxa7, as I tend to panic when there
is under a minute or so left.

Instead of black playing Qg5 on the 10th move in this sequence maybe Re8, I'm not sure?

Looking for good moves a rook down is pretty futile. 10. ... Re8 11. Rxd7+ Re7 12. R1a7
