Resigned a won game thought my king couldn't catch his passed pawn:in my analysis I gave him the move instead of me. I realized my mistake when my opponent was in such a hurry to post the result on the tournament board.

There was also a OTB tournament where I was a full point ahead and only had to draw my last two games to win the tournament. Lost both games and finished out of prize fund.

When I was 200 rated I used to watch videos while playing chess. Maybe that's why I was 200 rated...

I was in a complete winning position but I blundered so my opponent had one move and that move was checkmate

Once, I risked a mate in 1, but I thought that he had got queen and rook, whereas I only a rook, so he might not notice,
He actually did not notice, and I checkmated him back rank in one move
I be like : Shah Rukh Khan’s Pose
He be like : Reversed GothamChess Dancing

I was on track to be a rapid adult improver NM, and then decided to read a bunch of academic books and watch lectures unrelated to chess for most of my time for a few years, just when I already decided to focus on chess, because of a "flow experiment" and social reasons, when I could have focused on chess anyways. It was going very well. Some years later, I woke up, realized I was getting older, and I love chess, so what was I doing??? Anyways, I'm back now. Age 24, not 19 like before. Pretty hopeful still given recent bullet 2773 peak, so I can still improve! I still coach
