"Worst blunders you’ve made?"
Shoving my troops into the sea to fight a superior force of horses who had no business being in the water....
Worst blunders you’ve made?
Sort:
Worst blunder my opponent made: Once I was trying to get stalemate (obviously not going to work in my level but I was bored) and my opponent captured all my pieces and had some fun by promoting his pawns into queens just to figure out that it became stalemate

I blundered a rook and a bishop against my most recent opponent.
Granted, he was a 1950, so I was understandably very nervous.

Turns out that “1950” had a peak rating 2339 rapid!
Now I feel even less shame losing to him!

He might've done it for fun who knows...I had never drawn a game by 50 move rule, but this one time I was obviously winning but the dude wouldn't give up and I had some 2 minutes on the clock and he had some 40 seconds so I promoted my pawn to a rook instead and decided that I wasn't gonna checkmate him and try to flag him instead but if he could survive 50 moves I'd give him the draw, he managed to get to the 50th move with 2 seconds on the clock

That’s not a blunder tho because you got to do en passant. If you get a chance to do en passant and don’t do it then you are lame.

Agreed, en passant is best move no matter what computer eval says. If you have to choose between en passant or hanging mate in one you just capture the pawn
One time i was up 30 points, and promoted to a bishop and tried to get him with 6 diganols. I had some random knight which i somehow missed, and ended up stalemating, luckily when he rematched me i won lol

I hung a queen and a rook within 3 moves in a completely winning position. I was so far ahead that even after that, we drew.
Let my queen and king in a straight line which his rook immediately put it align to it
worst brain fart was when i had an inevitable rook trade but my queen was nearby so I wanted to see if I could do a better move with the queen. but i couldn't find one. instead of trading my rook I traded my queen for his rook. went from a winning game to a completely lost one.
runnerup is having a completely winning position where i could just play it calm and win but i felt like i had a mate going on (mate in 4 on the board). i did my rook sacrifice, and then i fail to spot mate in 1, his king slips away from my mistake, i blunder and lose another piece and end up dead in the water and lost the game.
the very next game i fail to spot mate in 3 but since I never spotted it, it wasnt a true brain fart.
After those two games I started doing checkmate puzzles again.
if u just look at my games you would never feel bad about urself again, I've had much worse situations.

Thanks for this topic - I just tried listing my worst blunders, but I only have a 64bit computer - so the 2 TB I used crashed my computer.
I think the most beautiful blunders are those when you see a queen sac moving the enemy king to a deadly square......and then your opponent just takes with a bishop that was half the board away that you just didn't see!
I got quad forked by a 2 hundred and im a 700
One time I was in a game against an NM in a twitch stream and I blundered my queen and 10 people saw it on the stream.
