When you stupidly blunder your queen on move 18 for completely no reason and it's just a mistake

So I get two rooks, a knight, and multiple pawns up, then proceed to blounder my queen because my brain shorted out and I thought the rook was still guarding for some reason, and chess.com's like nO thAt'S juSt a MisTaKe
And then I won

The engine recognizing it as just a mistake is likely because of the enormous advantage you already have, so losing a queen would have made little difference in the result of the game, therefore making it a mistake. In other words, blunders are usually game-changing or gives the other person chances, and mistakes usually lower your chances of winning but aren't game-defining moments

Blundering your Queen away is known as "The Botez Gambit", after the streamer who did it live.

++ That is neither a blunder, nor a mistake: it wins just the same.
There are no bonus points for a faster win or for a win with more material up.

It should've been a brilliant....I have no idea what's wrong with chess.com's engine

It still is a blunder, as I am losing 9 points of material completely by accudent, but it isn't classified as a blunder because of my significant advantage.

I agree with you! It may not have affected the outcome, but you know it was a blunder because it was an oversight.....a mistake. And you want to at least take away a lesson so that's it's less likely to happen again. If you just accept it as ok, then there's no reason to learn anything from it.

I am always blundering, I swear I get worse!
