I've lost about 50 points and climbing. Worst blunder so far? It just has to be black's sixth move in the game below. I'd like to think my opponent thought it was part of a brilliant new variation on the Ruy Lopez, whereas in fact I was so busy looking over my shoulder to see who was watching I didn't see it.

& blocks and important pawn at the worst time.

I guess thats when I stopped worrying about the game and the rest is history...

My opponent closed the game out pretty well considering we were both playing under watchful eyes.

Black's sixth move is axb5, no. Seems like the ONLY move to me.

I've got a blunder I bet you can't top. I woke up one morning, and intended to resign a losing game. I was still sleepy and I resigned the wrong game, one I was winning.
