Bruh bruh; did you not read my game annotation on avoiding name-shaming? smh
The purpose of this thread is just to joke, or lighten the mood, and not to call out people
And this is why I hate online chess: 4 pawns down, queen down, but never resigning. And then bragging on the forums that you're such a great bad sport.

I've resigned many games, but it depends on my perception on ability to create counterplay and how I evaluate my opponent's technique. Against a "regular opponent" who isn't trash talking in the chat, I'd probably resign this position 9 times out of 10, but here is that rare case where I'm not resigning and it turned out to be the correct decision by the game result.

a 2k player capturing a piece without giving a thought about the very next move. if i were his coach i'd send him to 12 hundred class for a week.. as a punishment.
still there is nothing to be ashamed of.. one should embrace their mistakes to advance.

Yeah, we all make mistakes, but this one was costly to them and easily avoidable. When I make similar errors myself, it is the "easily avoidable" part that usually gets me.

It's normal to mess up... at any level. It's about reducing the frequency of it. If he was really tired then it is especially normal. I miss mates often and blunder a game away often sadly as I get distracted or get tired.

If I was their coach, I'd probably have a heart attack and show the game to all my other students as punishment.

2000s can be some of the most unbalanced players around skill-wise. I played one a couple months ago who I slowly ground down until I got a winning advantage of two exchanges up, but couldn't win it with zero time left and sacrificed both of them to get into a drawn endgame. You can guess where this is heading: he didn't know his basic opposition, so I won.
... when you think you are playing absolutely brilliant chess in 15|10 and the eval bar goes from +4 to 0.00, then in the next 3 moves you go from 0.00 to -5, that’s just 2000 life.

Everybody here has gone through that as well. Well except for those who are too old to have played computers as beginners. They likely fell victim to Scholar's Mate by their grandfather.
papa
pawn to h5 is better fyi
Thanks
Yeah I know this by post-game analysis now - I've been testing a new opening lately (Caro-Kann when I used to play 1...e5 against 1. e4) so I'm still so-so on opening theory.
