Is this the most mistake and blunder-ridden game ever?

I played a game once where I decided to hang on to an extra knight, instead of simplifying I chased a bishop all around the board instead of exchanging and winning with material advantage. Ended with 22 mistakes.

I think the analysis only counted my moves. I went through it and counted 45 mistakes and blunders! That's about half of the actual moves in this game!

He made 7 blunders in a row?

I’ve never seen a move like that Rf8 in the opening. Don’t you know castling rules?

Obviously I do, as I castled later on Smile.

I doubt it, as there are only 18 moves for a total of 33 possible blunders and mistakes. But there are some pretty big blunders in that I have to admit.

It would still help if I knew how to recognise blunders. Unless it's something obvious like hanging a queen, I don't know that something's a blunder until an analysis tells me.

I have actually seen games that make this game look like a contest between world champions with a brillancy prize for best game.

No game can be so bad it makes this one look good, surely?

C'mon, you're gonna have to do a lot better (or actually, I guess worse) than that!

Oh yesI How about being up 3 queens and failing to win. How about missing mate in one 3 moves in a row. How about being up a queen in the endgame with no compensation for the opponent and losing by being mated by a pawn. Those were all adult games. Never mind the children.

How about hanging my Queen for 4 moves in a row and neither of us noticing? Seriously! I am not kidding! :X

A guy recently posted a game where a queen was en prise for like 15 moves in a row.

adamplenty

15!!! Hanging for 15 moves?

AndyClifton

Yep.  At least.  Some recent thread or other.

adamplenty

Blimey. And I thought my blunders like that were bad.

How about taking every piece and pawn of the opponent without losing a single pawn and not know how to win the game only drawing it.
