Game 3116384

I was switching back and forth between games and kept mixing up my mental notes. The above game had a forced mate situation around move 40. I totally forgot about it and made another move instead, which prolonged the game another dozen moves or so.

Even with the missed mate, I still felt overconfident that I would eventually win against an opponent about 100 pts lower than me. My other game was getting into a critical endgame situation as well, so my mind was going in two different directions. This is what ended up happening:


(I just played e7, totally forgetting Black's queen)

I promptly resigned after returning to this game to see Black play Qe1+

I'm now thinking of taking up yoga so I can learn to kick myself in the butt. ;_;
