Game 190987. I was 2 moves away from mate. I was at work playing when my boss walked in my office unannounced, how dare him. I was in the process of making my move. I moved the wrong rook, wanted to move the D rook. Now I don't think I can recover. My question is this. Would you take the win or realize it was a terrible mistake and resign, and ask for a rematch which I would gladly accept. What is the right thing to do?

Then again I once had somebody claim somebody had made their move for them and it wasn't their fault. But I was so close to winning, I had to carry on.
But I'm not sure what I could have done anyway, there is no way to delete a game after the first 2 moves as far as I know, somebody has to win it.

When at work:I work.
When I come home:I play.
I never mix.It is a cocktail as described:you can make weak moves.
I think you got off lightly,you should have lost your job.

Originally posted by lionelI play at work and I also work hard. Chess players make excellent employees. In fact if I were your boss, I would have walked over to you and said, "hey, let me look at that. You've got great position. In fact, so good that I'm going to give you a promotion. Why didn't you tell me you played chess? That's what this outfit needs- more brains! 😉 Kirk

You have the ability to win from there - confidence :o)
I have made some terrible moves against some players on this site and got away with it, I have had people even fail to miss my Queen sitting there waiting to die as I was sitting cringing at the move I had just made.
It just makes the game a little more fun. One thing is for sure, if you resign you will loose the game for sure, if you play on you have a chance

We must not give advice or encouraugement about a game in progress.
Lionel you brought this "dilema"to this forum that you should lose 50 points.
Now because you went public,you are compromised.
