What was the worst blunder you made in a game of chess?
Once, my wife and kids were visiting friends where they also spend the night. As I came home from work and having a day-off the next day, I started playing chess and did not stop before 8a.m. I admit I had a couple of drinks, but after 14 hours non-stop playing my eyes were tired as well. The next happened in a game, here at Queen Alice: I tried to castle with my Queen. As I go after making my move (I know how the situation looks like, though not this time) straight-away to the next game, I only noticed that I moved my Queen, and of course a Rook as well, in an impossible position in the beginning of the game.
p.s.guess what? I lost.

My worst blunder?
Moved my rook forward in an absolutely winning position (mate in a few moves), only to allow my opponent a backrank mate.

I've done it many times before & continue to if I'm not paying attention, allow my opponent to get between two of my pieces for capture - & their never pawns.

A game in correspondance, to add the insult with injury , where in a innocuous position I made the blunder of a lifetime by moving a piece in the center, allowing my lower rated chess friend to deliver a instantly checkmate coming out from thin air. Playing in the center is not always advisable

27 http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/resigntxt.htm#28 Black to play
Jonasson - Angantysson Iceland 1984
What Black invented here went around the world as a brilliancy: 26...e2 (Bxf6 would have won easily) 27.fxe7 Bd4+ and White resigned. Very nice. Months later, a reader of the Observer chess column, which was one of the many where this combination was published, asked what happens if White plays 28.Ne3.
