Frustrating and unfair

http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=727273

I know you shouldn't comment on a game in progress, but man, can I just hit resign on this game after that beyond terrible knight move? Chess is so unfair, I outplayed my opponent in every facet of the game until then, and I do ONE bad move, an obvious one at that, GAME OVER, he gets an UNDERSERVED win. I just wanted to develop that knight, and yeeehaw, one little knight of his beats my whole army after that move. God this game is frustrating and unfair. . .

Some really famous chess icon, whose name I forget, once said, "The winner of a chess game is the player who makes the second to last mistake."

Boo hoo hoo 🙁

It's just very frustrating, in RHP, you put days and efforts into a game you worked hard at and were winning throughout, and then you give your opponent a gift and he gets the win for playing like crap. Chess is definately not a game of justice, very frustrating, this is why I probably quit the game so much. Not only will I lose the exchange this game, but that yucky knight move allows him to get the pawn back, so I am down a total exchange, with no compensation whatsoever. I guess I'll play on, so at the very least my opponent has to work somewhat for his one move win, but other then that, pffff, this just sucks, lol. . .

undeserved?
Thats the wrong mentality. the game isn't over until the opponent is checkmated or resigns. you need to work (as we all do, me especially)
on your thought process. No-one 'deserves' to win a game because they played 99% better than their opponent.

Moral of the story: Don't look for sympathy on a chess forum...

Frustrating, of course. It would be nice if everybody could win all his games.

Unfair? What's unfair about it?

It's unfair in a sense I outplayed him in 99% of the game till this point, and he outplayed me in ONE move. Name me a single sport that allows the team who plays better 99% of the game to lose, that's why chess is a weird, yet unfair, game and can frustrate ppl. . .
