For the people who say it's impossible losing with less blunders:

Okay, I admit that there will be several questions, but I've heard a few times that it should be impossible to lose with less blunders than the opponent. Yet here I sit. I lost with one less blunder.

I know that I played badly, and I admit that I was unfocused after half the game because of some IRL things out of my control. But that's not an excuse. I have played more seriously, and made fewer errors. But I think this is a good example of something I've read a few times that annoys me.

The Review of this match, which is only a very analysis, determined that you made 4 mistakes, 1 miss and a blunder, to your opponent's 2 blunders. That's easily enough mistakes to lose.

If you lost, then you made the last mistake. It does not matter what your opponent did before.

I know, like I said it isn't an excuse. But I've heard and read from a lot of people throughout the year that "it's not the mistakes that determine if you lose". According to them it's only the blunders, which makes no sense.

For these people is the game I posted. That winning or losing is more than just making less blunders.
