One memorable time of this happening to me was in round 3 of an improvers rapid late. I have a blog with the game, it was against a higher rated player too.

Keep in mind that it was not for the last time

I don't play fast games because it is frustrating losing on time or due to a misclick

Play rapid instead. A lot fewer misclicks. More time to think. You will improve more too.

I accidentally resigned a winning position.

When you're ahead, it’s easy to relax — but that’s when we slip. Make it a habit to double-check every move when you’re clearly winning.

It happens to me often. One of the worst is meaning to castle and instead just moving your King one square.

Because you are you. You are special

By that logic, I am also special. Chosen to slip.

I call my misclicks abstract strategies

If everyone who had mouseslipped is special, not being special is special
