Quite a few years ago I was playing in the US Open CC finals and my opponent was a former US Championship competitor. I caught him sleeping in the opening and won a P. As the game progressed I realized I probably would “only” draw the ending.

So then I got fancy and sac’d a piece in a 13 move combination that won brilliantly. Everything went exactly according to plan and we arrived at the winning position just like I worked it out. Uhhh…I should have looked one more move because my brilliant win didn't exist. He returned the piece then sac’d another that left me staring at mate.
:^-(

That doesn't sound like a blunder though, merely a mistake.

Nit-picker :-P

I will remember always this game, I played it (with white) on AUTO-ADV-1114, last November. I don't know what I was thinking:


FlipFirst Move   Previous MoveNext Move   Previous Move (with variations)Next Move (with variations)   Last Move

1. e4 e6 2. f4 d5 3. e5 Ne7 4. d4 Nf5 5. Bd3? Qh4+ 6. g3? Nxg3 7. hxg3??
Qxh1 0-1

5. Bd3 not only opened the door for 5. ... Qh4+, but to a lesser extent lost the d4 pawn (to 5. ... Nxd4) (or at least "exchanged" it for black's h pawn, which really isn't so good either).

It was a wrong move in so many aspects buddy... :-P
