Just made the stupidest move and ended up mate. What can I smash my head against to make sure that it will not happen again. Wall, car, tree etc.

We don't have any like that in Australia. Sounds like a good idea though.

You have gila monsters there don't you?

Nope, just looked it up. There must be something hideous there you can bash up against.

Best of luck though, I'm behind you all the way.

I guess I could perhaps go for a swim with a large salt water crocodile. 3m long with lots of nasty teeth and a very bad attitude.

Well thought out. If I'd never started playing on line I could have said I'd never lost a game.

I just got caught up with seeing what I could do rather than what my opponent was about to do.

You guys have lots of nasty poisonous beasties over there, don't you?

I made a pretty dumb move, giving my opponent a checkmate in two moves.

He didn't see it, and now I'm ahead in the endgame!

There was a song by a comedy duo, "the Scared Wierd Little guys" and the title was "Come to Australia where you might accidentally killed". This about sums Australia up. We even have this tiny octopus that kills within minutes if you get bitten.

try smashing a blunder check into your brain. it'll do you hundreds and hundreds of rating points worth of good. banging your head doesn't really help, neither does being really reeeally careful. you need a systematic thought process you apply on every single move.
