Blunder.

I wonder, where did the word blunder come from in chess? It is the sort of word that was used in England in the 19th century (1800s really - some dummy decided to name all the centuries a year out of date).

The first guy to "blunder" was John Blunder.

William Ferrence vs John Blunder

The first "blunder"

I'm serious....it's a fact.
