Does any move stand out in your memory as the stupidest one you ever made?

Ha ha this one time I made a blunder that cost me the entire game!  You should have been there!  Good thing that never happened again.

Hmmm. Not familiar with God's Sake. Would you settle for this?

Oh you mean ches smove?  Well, in rated OTB games, in the last couple of years, probably the game where I was up 2 pieces in the end game no less, and blundered both of the pieces within 3 moves of each other.  That's what you get when you are trying to blitz someone into losing the game (the opponent had only a couple of minutes left on the clock).

Best answere yet.

Jagoff is such a great Pittsburgh word.

It was common in Chicago about 30-40 years ago. Haven't been there recently, but I suspect it hasn't died out.

yes I played otb team match and I play very safe in team match and very up on not making any errors. for some unknown reason I thought I had a tactic that could win the queen. but the queen was protected. - and I lost my queen.
I don't know but for some reason in my mind the queen was for free in that tactic.
It was from games like that I learned "if a move seems winning it is worth to use at least double amount of time to check if it is indeed winning."
in the game I was so sure I was going to win the queen I played the move in 5 seconds.

Breaking my own rule of never getting back w/a woman you've broken up with. One is now my ex-wife and the other is now married to my best friend. Ha!

From Tim Krabbe's site.

White has over 50 legal moves, all except 1 mates Black on the spot.

The remaining move forces Black to mate White immedately.

So, the worst move ever: Qxc4+

Rook and three pawns vs two pieces up in an endgame against MIKHAIL FREAKIN' TAL and I walked into a Knight fork in time pressure.

My position before the blunder was so good that I STILL managed to draw, even after blundering my Rook.
