Game 874425

OK this is 2005 champs, so should not count, but feel it is worth posting as I learned a lesson here.

Move 30 Black and I think move 31 also counts as a blunder (should've moved King backward not forwards maybe?)

Ouch. Deserved punishment, and I should have resigned sooner in the onslaught that follows.

Good blunder rhb but 31 is not so as you are doomed anyway.
Moving the king backwards just brings the end quicker :
31. ...Kg8
32.Qe6+ Kh7
33.Qf7#
or :
32. ...Kf8
33.Rxf6+ Kg7
34.Qf7#
or:
31. ...Kg7
32.Qxf6+ Kg8(or h7)
33.Qf7#

ah, the highlight of my year. Who could possibly have played worse than me in this cracker of a blunder. Moves 21 to the end are well worth a laugh in case you are feeling a bit down.

The first 9 were pretty funny as well. 😉

Well, this wasn't on RHP, but on CMX vs. a computer opponent - I'll just descibe it, as it's hilarious.

Early on I lost my queen. Later on I promoted a pawn. I lost that queen. I promoted _another_ pawn. Then I forced a stalemate.

Yes. I suck. 😛

Here's one of my biggest blunders. :-(
Game 874906

I had intended to play NxB followed by c3, but I made the mistake of trying to get a bunch of moves in from work and interposed the moves. 😠
