Hiya,
you overlooked a neat combo on your 27th move,
[fen]3r1r1k/5ppB/8/ppp1q3/5nP1/2P2Q2/PP1N1K2/R6R[/fen]
instead of 27.Bc2+,
27.Bf5+ Kg8
28.Rh8+ Kxh8
29.Qh1+...
😞

I could see I was in major positional difficulties and was probably going to lose anyway, but to face checkmate after a straightforward trick like that...I had a fit of hysterical laughter and just switched the computer off, I was so disgusted with myself.

So she started playing it, but when one of the monsters was going to "kill" her, she quickly reached up and SHUT OFF THE COMPUTER!!!
🙁
I asked her why she did that!? and she said, "I wasn't going to let that monster get me!" 😲

I accidently got my queen taken on move 22, soon followed by my resignation:
Game 876556
For the record, I meant queen takes pawn at d3. I wonder what I was drinking then...?
But you will have to wait a little while for that round. Seems a very unbalanced two groups on both ranking and speed.
As for my own worst moves, I've had rather a lot.
My 23rd move here is a good candidate, against a player who really doesn't need any extra help from myself.
Game 1056590
My 16th move here is another one.
Game 1059557
And finally for now, my 30th move here. Thankfully his 31st is quite possibly one of his worst too (this game is still in progess as I write).
