What is your worst loss?

I'm talking about a loss in which you were crushing your opponent then something as simple as a mate in one threat was overlooked and you lost the game!

I think I've done that so many times that I don't have a "worst"

LOL

*raises hand in agreement* :)

Wow, that's a tough one.

This is probably my worst loss. 

I had a mate in 1 going for me after 39.Nxg5 h4. 

But of all things I chased after the h-pawn with 40.Nf3 instead of going for mate in 1 with 40.Re8#.

What happens next is Whammo!!!. 40....Rh1#

I was in shock and could not believe I got myself checkmated.

Black was a sly one. His 39...h4 actually shut off the escape route for my K via g3.http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=573048882
