Black loses a piece in 6 moves with a bit of self inflicted trickery.
OTB grades of over 2000 does not mean you cannot blunder.
It means when you do blunder there is a excellent chance someone will
spot it and make sure the whole world sees it as well.
Someone from the ECF forum posted the first few moves and later I received
a PM with the complete game.
I'm magnet for blunders. 🙂
Whole game is a good example of how not to blow a won game.
