PLease could somebody tell me if they have ever made a more stupid error than me in Game 473165. Move 38 I should have moved my queen to f5, forcing mate in 3, instead, in my mad rush to watch England also throw away an unassailable lead, I move to f4 letting David take me with his pawn, putting me really up S**t Street.
This will probably be my first (of many) losses after 100 wins, so I would like to congratulate david on sticking in there.

Originally posted by flexmoreI feel Sir's error was more grave. Steve gave his queen, Sir gave his king.

Sir would you like to do something similar in our game? just kidding.

Originally posted by SteveCCan't compare ur blunder to the England game...i just can't believe what happened...they blew it up in such a big game. It reminded me of the '99 European Cup final - ManU vs Bayern. The result that day went in favour of the Englishmen didn't it ? This England squad is a strong lot and I know they will recover from it.
Although I fullly accept that a game was lost due to the monumental error, I still think I shade it for the following reason:
If I had moved correctly it was mate in 3, now I am big favorite to lose. Sort of like England after 90 minutes, all looked so good, then it all goes wrong.

I went mindless for a moment, I had noted in my notebook not to play the move I did and did it anyway. Game 504545
