1.Be3 {Is a blunder because?} Ng4 {the discovery on the queen and Qd4 is kind of forced, but if...} 2.Qxd7 Qxd7 3.Rxd7 Nxe3 {black saves the piece and is not totally busted, just worse}
Ouch! not bad, not bad indeed! not quite a miniature in this one, I made it to move 24, but blundered in this position, black has just played ...c6

Here is a blunder worthy of the great Dick Dastardly himself, a plan that goes horribly wrong. Here I have just played ...Ba6
