Game 684697
There have been threads in the past about people playing on a lost game. And there have been quotes in the past about "The winner is the person who makes the second to last mistake." In this game, my pieces were so passive, and then errors were made, and then more errors, and then I got to the point where I was about to resign. All of a sudden i find a saving grace.
This game is not like games when you are playing someone and a chimpanzee could finish them off, but it goes to show you that it may be worth playing a game where you think all hope is lost.
Any similar experiences?

Even worse: I lost my queen. Normally all hope is lost, but I though what the heck, let's continue. Then, I could recapture my opponent's queen, but I would still be a piece behind. Lo and behold, he resigns????
i thought id lost this game - i was saccing pieces all over the place but nothing was working then suddenly, checkmate (using all 3 of my remaining pieces 😀)

I managed to blunder my queen in the last move, but my opponent resigned. Maybe he just figured it was a lost cause and didn't bother to look over the position, but I choose to believe, that he's just a good sport who thought I deserved the game😉
