That's go to be a record, blundering my queen at move 1. I suppose the pawn on the 1st rank provides some kind of compensation, though. 
The game wouldn't change ratings . . . unless danilop felt he could give away a 9-point handicap and a +1 move odds against a strong Class C player and wanted to continue by playing another five moves or so :))
wow :P
Happened to me just the same way. Pawn promotion - resignation - new game, but pawn went backwards on C.
It's perfectly logical. Make sure you close that window next time.
Erik, is his an Ajax control? I always assumed it was.
it looks like you just waited for the time to run to just about zero and then moved your pawn where it's not supposed to go right on zero.
This happens to me a lot in 1 min games where you are just moving a piece to move it and you can actually move a piece anywhere on the board if it happens right on zero, but the computer won't recognize the move as a valid part of your game, you just lose on time.
But I guess your opponent is the one who lost on time here so this situation doesn't apply? If this is true, then .. that is.. Awesome!
so strange.
Here's the background: the game before that one, I promoted a pawn, but my opponent resigned before I could choose which piece I would promote my pawn to.
He offers a rematch and I accept it, but the "select piece" window is still floating over the board. I click the queen to see if it would disappear, and that position ensued. 1. e4 cxd8=Q.
