My Biggest Blunder Yet

Round 5 in this weekend's OTB tourney.  It's a complicated position, more or less even, at least both sides have chances.  He attacks my knight and I spend a good chunk of time on a couple of variations after the knight moves.  I write down the move Nde2, and then...I MOVE THE WRONG KNIGHT.  OMG!!!!!  Unbelievable.  My opponent said he didn't know whether to feel bad for me or laugh.  

lol

Chess does strange this to chess players.  But I still love it!

I have often thought about if this would happen to me. Moving the wrong piece, or the piece to far, but it has never happened to me.

In a game last week I made a terrible blunder in which I lost a rook.  I thought I had lost the game for sure, because that opponent and I are so evenly matched.  Usually if one of loses a pawn it is a true struggle the reminder of the game.  I figured I had lost but decided to see how it would all turn out.  I won!  Being that I had a well-protected pawn the 6th rank kept the pressure on my opponent and eventually turned the tide in my favor. 

Says who?

I don't think it's a USCF rules since many coaches recommend writing down the move and then doing a sanity check.  FIDE must have changed those rules as well since in Tal's book he talks about Fischer writing down a move, showing it to Tal and the scribbling it out.
