I'm posting the dumbest move i've made in a while. I analysed a position for a few miuntes and decided what i was going to do, got to the board and then moved completely the wrong piece and pressed submit. Then resgined one move later.

Surely i'm not alone on this??

Sometimes the hand move so fast the eyes can't follow.
Yes, we've all been there...

I think it is mainly due to an eye-hand-mouse coordination problem...

And that where the "winning" pawn push was quite bad, Qxf3+ Kxf3 Rxb7 and Black will win the endgame easily. 🙂

Indeed. I resigned on principle. Some foolishness just need to be punished. 🙂
