On the basis that it was my first loss, and that it was a ridiculous blunder that lost me the game, when I had cancelled out any edge white may have had, and was looking at having a bit of an edge myself.

I made the last move in this game in a semi-wasted state last night. I'm no stranger to blunders but this was by far the easiest win that I can remember managing to throw away. Kudos to my opponent for setting me up.

I won a piece in the middlegame and set my oponent's king up for an upcoming mate, but look at the shot I missed! ðŸ˜

Here I think I had an imaginary knight on b1, either that or I was focusing on my own attack. The Duh moment! God knows what I was thinking.
