I used to think that I saw it all but nothing surprises me on here.
Think of something outrageous on a chessboard and I'll see if I can find an example.
Even I've screwed up. When I was playing that 50 board simul on here to see
if I could handle 50 games. I could not. My graph Nov 12-end Dec 12 reflect this.

Hi greenpawn,
moving too fast never helps. I wonder if anyone has ever lost when two clear queens up (apart from by timeout)?
I was looking at my archives for no particularly good reason and found this game from 4 years ago. It's fairly entertaining, but based around two blunders. There's a certain amount of ineptitude from me for falling into a queen losing trap. My opponents blunder seems to be setting the trap, it allows a huge attack. He could give back the queen for a rook and a bishop to go into an ending a couple of pawns down instead of being checkmated.

It would delete itself from the computer and refund all expenses with a fritzy note saying, "I am a chess engine. What you were doing was not chess"
