I remember one game where Fischer gave up a bishop for nothing in return. Don't know his opponent or the date.

Bobby Fischer blundering his second game of the 1972 championship. Probably worst mistake ever

You cannot define the "worst" mistake in chess because it's a zero sum game. Whichever move leads to an immediate loss can be considered the "worst" moves. I guess you can say there are worst played games if they lead to a loss in fewest moves.

Didn't Fischer win game 2, you know, psychologically?
I like the "you know" very Fischery.
He was a fish. He lost the second game psychologically and practically, then Bush payed Stalin and Spassky lost on purpose.

Kramnik dropping mate in 1 against Deep Fritz
Bacrot dropping his queen against Inarkiev in the 2008 Grand Prix
At Linares in 2002, Beliavsky made the worst possible move and dropped mate in one in a better position
This one might not be the worst, but it certainly caused one of the strongest reactions!

There's a big difference between having a move in your head and having the piece sitting in it's square. Two seconds later it's 'oh no!'
It's the fools mate lol
While it's understandable people want to focus on dramatic invisible checkmates by grandmasters and their ilk, many more games are lost by mistakes than simply good play.
Please help us to find the very worst mistake ever made.
