      my opponent did this in a 100% winning position. i blundered the petrov queen trap for some reason and then he castled long after a while. he had a piece on his diagonal leading to center and rook on his left. i take the pawn that becomes free after the long castle and he plays g3 in hopes of trapping my dark square bishop but by doing that he blundered bh3# and it was the most hilarious game ever. i think he was -10.5 as black and then blundered mate in 1.

I'm only in the 300s elo right now, but I am super proud of my 88% accuracy rated checkmate win i had yesterday. Thank you for having such great concise content with so much energy.

    My worst move was in my first ever rated game in high school. Something like fifth move I picked up my kingside knight and hemmed and hawed trying to decide between e2 and f3, and compromised on e3. I somehow got it to the point where my kingside quadrant had 15 pieces in it. When I went back and replayed it from my notes, I saw the illegal move and threw it away in disgust. I keep wishing I kept it because I mapped out all the exchanges and came out a bishop ahead and eventually won the game.

    My favorite blunder. I moved a rook to the back rank to check the king, and to my horror the king somehow moved by three squares and took my rook! I then realized that was not the king, that was the queen. I thought I was checking the king but I was checking the queen, which is not a thing and the queen simply took my rook. I stared at the board in disbelief for about five minutes after that.

    15:40 you could have just taken the knight on f6, opponent takes back and you queen, once they take your queen with the rook you take back the rook and now it's bishop vs bishop instead of bishop vs rook

    In minute 25 when you did c3, c4 was a better choice cause if he takes it, you can take it back with the pawn and if he takes it again you have queen a4, just winning the knight. and if he doesn't take then you just have good control over the center

    Levy brother you are too hard on yourself when you miss something, I get it you have been doing this a long time and you feel making those mistakes is past you but the truth is everyone makes mistakes and everyone misses things, saying things like "I am a complete idiot for missing this" will actually only prevent you from reducing these mistakes in the future. Accepting that you will continue to make these mistakes and being at ease about it is the only way to minimize them
