I didn't even see it coming. 🤣😢

I was hanging a queen because I was blindly confident that I found a Greek gift to checkmate my opponent

This just happened (I took a pawn)

Fortunately, my opponent played an even dumber move not even five seconds later, inadvertently saving my dignity.
I've definitely had worse ones, but unfortunately (thankfully?) I don't remember them.
I blundered so badly in the opening that I followed it up by intentionally blundering more over the rest of the game because I was so angry with myself and the tilt I was on. Not proud of it, but I wonder what the other player must have thought. Probably, how are they my rating? Only happened once, never again. If I blunder I will play on to the best of my ability with what the position has until mate or time out.
My very first classical chess game in the ECF: I had m7 on the board after outplaying my opponent for the entire game….. and…. I hung my queen. In a single move. In OTB Classical chess. Worse still? The game was published in the English Chess Federation magazine “Chessmoves”. Doesn’t get much more humiliating than that!!

Haha, for me it would be a honor to get in a chess magazine even for a thing like that

Haha it was pretty cool anyway. Just a little mortifying the circumstances haha let me see if I can find the game bear with
here we go! Good few years ago, now, and I’ve improved a lot since thank God. But still, I was plenty good enough to not hang my queen!! Think I was ~1500 at the time?
That forced mate is ice cold. (28... Qc2+ 29. Ke1 Bd3 30. Qf2 Qb1+ 31. Kd2 c3+ 32. Nxc3 Rxf2+ 33. Ne2 Qc2+ 34. Ke1 Qxe2#)
We’ve all been there you hang your queen, miss a mate in one, or premove your king into check.
What’s the one move that made you want to uninstall Chess.com or hide under the board?
