Once in a game, my opponent tried to cheat by moving his rook diagonally by one square while I wasn't looking and then argued about it for the rest of the game and he lost on time nervous

Once I resigned in a fair position, because I thought I had blundered a rook.

Best resignation I faced over the board was in 1977 when smoking was allowed in public, I was playing Lou Prescott a pipe smoker. I was 3 moves from checkmate and Lou Prescott resigned by picking up his king and dropping it in the Ashtray!??

Funny

I missed mate vs Daniel(1400).

In my defense, I was going fast and didn't expect that from him. cry

I still won, though. meh

Forgive me Grand Master, for my Queen has sinned. She thinks about mating with an enemy King.

You know how most of the time I don't use much punctuation?

That would be because some time last late summer/early autumn I had bad tilt and threw a heavy object at the computer and now a bunch of the keys don't work.

If I really want to use a comma I copy and paste one from elsewhere.

I'm working on it.

I force myself to take breaks before it gets really bad now.

I thought a game was a draw and the person I was playing with agreed. We shook hands and concluded the game. Then I realized it wasn't a draw and I had one legal move.

I once gave a draw two moves from a win, not seeing it till after the draw offer.

I used to childishly insult people who had a very lucky win and didn't rematch

I'm certain most of us have done this.
