I recently posted a game I won and thought I played well. Somebody commented on why I didn't post a game I lost. Well here is a blunderful example. Not saying I could not have won after freely donating my knight. Playing as black, down a piece early, I was playing catch-up from the get-go. Anyone see how this one could have been saved?

You both blundered a piece in the first ten moves. Food for thought... why did you miss it?
