Shit happens
Wanna see something hilarious?

Yep, I did.
And as already pointed out, I missed a very obvious mate in two earlier. Such mates are not beyond me, as seen from a game from earlier today:
A failed attempt at a costage...pretty hilarious, too.
I honestly don't know what I must've been smoking to attempt that rook lift in the original post - it's probably the most hilarious thing I've ever done in a chess game. I was quite embarrased at first, though.

it can happen very easily. if it was in daily, then it is funny, but if it was in fast time control, then these things happen a lot.

My opponent's king is a sitting duck cut off from any reinforcements. I play the worst move, the absolute worst move to lose instantly. And I played it with a smile, like, "yea, rook lift. It's over 4 u".

12.Ne7+ forces mate, silly.
A classic case of getting distracted from the task at hand. Kill the king is the name of the game, but the queen jumped in, flashed a threat, and "SQUIRREL!!"
