I had the game won. I was at one time a pawn up, and then I made this STUPID rook lift! And, then the thethimble logs on and I end up throwing the whole game by moving too fast. Ever had that happen to you? Well, tell me! Make me feel better! HAHA!

Game 1430871

While posting this thread with no game link was pretty dumb next time you can do your own legwork.

The rooklift was not a blunder (maybe not the best move either) but after Bxa5 you had to play Nc5 and NOT Ra2.

But before that, instead of taking the queen on d3, you could have played much stronger Rc4! and you would have won a second pawn.
