This is the sort of thing I am hoping to weed out of my game if I am going to make a serious contender for the 2008 championships.
I think my new years resolution should be to triple check every move before I make it.
My worst blunders of the year:
Game 4348747 My latest loss, being a nice clean two pawns up and moving too fast - I saw the combination a few seconds after making the move but had to hope that it was missed, unfortunately I hoped in vain.
Game 4115262 Played a bit of a bad opening, but managed to get enough initiative to win a piece and get an ongoing attack. Unfortunately, I decided that I could afford to sacrifice most of my army cause he couldnt stop the mate....or could he?
Game 3967889 Completely missed that I was losing a piece in a position that I felt was going quite well for me.
Game 4066325 The most unspeakable blunder I have ever made - I looked at this game for a microsecond after winning the piece and didnt even remember that the square I had just come from was now under attack.
Game 4151508 My most rapid loss ever - 13. Rb1 would have seen off blacks attack, instead I castled streight into mate.
