You look over several pleasing variations in your game. Your opponent is a patzer! HAH! You have sooo many ways to win the game! 🙂
Okay, so right before you make your move, you suddenly see a CRUSH! and so you make THAT move instead! 🙂 But before the screen can even change you realize that it's THE STUPIDEST MOVE ON THE BOARD!!!! ARGH! LOSING!!! :'(

I recently had a winning game, a mate in 1 and I missed it!

It's a truly horrible feeling, especially on a dial-up connection when you have a few seconds to review the board after clicking on MOVE before the page goes.
You realise what you've done, cry "NOOOOOOOOOO!" and start stabbing the STOP button on your browser, knowing it's already too late.
