Your most embarassing blundered advantage?
At the moment, I'll have to nominate Game 513110
Moves 1-15? Great. I'm 2 pawns up, chasing the enemy king across the board. I should win.
Moves 16-22? All right. I'm one pawn up and I've got more active rooks. I have a small advantage.
Moves 23-44? Ok. Material is even, rooks are about equally active -- drawish.
Moves 45-57? Not so good. I've saced all my other pawns to get a passed pawn that he can only stop by saccing a rook. Now I'm a rook for 3 pawns, but those pawns are connected, passed, advanced, and right next to his king, and my king is nowhere to be found. I'm running scared.
Moves 57-61? Terrible. My rook bounces around helplessly while he advances. Goodnight.

Unfortunately, king-hunt stalled anyway. d3 would have made 1000 times more sense as defending the knight AND the pawn, thus freeing my queen to flee the impending knight harassment and buying me time to castle, etc. and consolidate my advantage.
What was the idea behind your pawn push at move 16?
