BLUNDERFUL: Post Blunders Here!

Lately, I've created a nice little checklist system that has at least slightly improved my chess. I don't blunder during live games as much. But today, by virtue of moving after only about three seconds of thought, I made one of my all time worst blunders. On an iPad, I can't insert a board (if someone would do it, that would be great) but here's the notation:

1.e4e5

2.Nf3d6

3.d4Bg4

4.dxe5Bxf3

5.Qxf3dxe5

6.Bc4Nf6

7.Qb3Qe7

8.Nc3Nbd7

9.Qxb7Rb8

10.Qxc7Rd8

11.Qxa7Qd6

12.Bg5Be7

13.O-OO-O

14.Rad1Qb4

15.Bb3Bc5

16.Qa4Qb7

17.Rd2Nb6

18.Qb5Rxd2

19.Bxd2Bd4

20.Bd5Qa7

21.a3Rb8

22.Qd3Ng4

23.Nb5Nxf2

24.Rxf2Bxf2+

25.Kxf2Nxd5+

26.Nxa7Nf6

27.Qd6????

I often get frustrated with chess blunders, but this one, even though it is one of the worst I've ever seen, makes me laugh. I have the ability to blunder away anything. I can't believe I lost this game, but, hey! Kramnik, Anand, Karpov, Kasparov, Nakamura, and even Fischer have all messed up spectacularly.

So I decided to make it a thread. Here you can post both your blunders and G.M. blunders. The one thing I don't really want to see is posting an opponent's blunder without his/her permission.

Often when I made blunders in the past, I heard people say that "even G.M.s make blunders" and figured that it was just meant to make me feel better and it didn't have any water to it. But blundering is a part of the game. If you

have a terrible blunder, feel free to post it here. Thanks, guys.

I can't tell because the board seems to be messed up somehow...I've never seen that happen before...

dpnorman

Oh, it's because you didn't break up the moves. For example, I typed d4Bg4 which means I moved d4 and my opponent played Bg4 but the board reads it as d4B g4 which makes no sense. That's really weird. I'll link the game.

Thanks, Owlmoon!

Why would you resign? You're down an exchange for 3 passed pawns that can easily promote.

dpnorman

The shock of making the blunder was enough to make me resign. Maybe you're right.

I just written a huge post with links and all and clicked on posted and it didn't do it. This foolish site is made to make me angry.
