Ouch! (sure he didn't play 11... Bxf3+ btw?...looks to be a mate in 2).
This is the pgn exactly copied from another site.
Gerhard Who?

Hard to believe Keres missed that mate-in-one in a correspondence game! After 12 Qxg3 Nf3xg1+ 13. Ke2 fxg3 I think Black is still winning though.
Nice miniature, anyway.
Our current WC is also not immune:
Ok, today is my day for humiliating great players :) [edit] sorry, didn't mean topost as a puzzle, and for some reason I can't seem to fix it
And the great Bobby losing against the Fritz variation, a favourite line of mine :)
OK, it was 1943, who knows what condition he was in, it was blitz, but there surely isn't a worse Alekhine game....
A Capa simul:
And Lasker too:
No one forget this Karpov loss:
@rooperi: you've posted 2 of the games as puzzles (Lasker and Petrosian), we can't play through them! The others are great though, it's so nice to see the mighty blunder like us mere mortals.

I know, sorry about that. for some reason I cant edit. just click on begin this puzzle, and then solution, and you can play through.
AH, should have thought of that!

Great posts; you had me laughing out loud with my coffee! A fine way to start the day--seeing Hall-of-Fame players going down in flames in less than 20 moves. I love it. With the amount of positive replies you have gotten here, maybe you could do an occasional forum post of great players getting spanked. Sound like a possibilty?

OK, post some names, I'll see if I can find games :)
You can't even google this guy, but here's his greatest moment :)
A correspondence game, no less...
