(B) Losing due to blunders, (A) drawing due to blunders, then (not-listed) winning due to blunders. Gross blunders mar interesting games.
This weekend in one game I achieved an extra tempo in the opening, used it to dominate an open file and penetrate--and then my opponent hung a piece. Argh!!
For me, it's one that is not on the list.
Loose a completely won game because of time.
A, timeout after a good combination, beating the opponent, but then you miss a move which loses.
Aren't all chess games lost because of blunders....
Ummm......fair comment I think!
B, A, D, E, C

Wouldn't most frustrating be when they trick you into a stalemate?
when you are in a winning position like up three queens or something then lose due to a BLUNDER.
For me #1 has to be A: Forced draw via blunder.
A loss is a loss. If I play badly, then I should lose; I can live with that. But coasting with a winning position and finishing with just a draw, especially against a high rated player and/or a rival . . . that has left a bad taste in my mouth a couple of times.
Getting creamed by your rival (choice E) kind of sucks, but that's just a sign that he or she is improving and you need to as well.
C and D (losing or drawing because of brilliant play) by an opponent is always fun to watch, so I hardly find it frustrating at all.
Most frustrating:
1. A
At a distant 2. B, C, D, and E
Blunder, most definitely, usually because of moving too fast. Happens to me all the time
B. Losing because of a blunder. I was playing a ladder tournament game, and first I missed a mate in two, then a few moves later I blundered away my queen because I wasn't paying attention to where I released the mouse button...
when you are in a winning position like up three queens or something then lose due to a BLUNDER.
Being up three queens is a blunder in of itself! At that point, you're just asking to stalemate your opponent.
B A D C E
Losing by a blunder: I hate it
Losing because you're opponent is to strong is not bad. Sometimes I play against players with a higher rating and then I lose always but I do it because I always learn from those games.
