A trip to blunderville.

oh, ouch.

Next time, make sure your opponent sees it before you resign. I dunno, it may be worth it just in case; he might be so intent on attacking that he plays g4 or something. I know it's happened to me where I make a totally game-losing blunder and my opponent either just assumes I didn't or just blithely makes a move on the other side of the board... great fun when his reply is a gross blunder too!

In the opening I sac'ed a knight in the center and rather than recapturing and winning, my 2168 rated opponent sacs *his* knight in reply... and gets crushed. Not *really* an analogous situation but funny anyway.

Raaahhh I had blundering stuff like this. I resigned mostly due to my own rage for missing QxQ. But yeh I know exactly what you are talking about. I have had people hang material (big material and sometimes even mate) But in my head I am thinking my opponent wont deliberately make this mistake so I play some other random move that is often still good just not as good as taking a free queen. One of my games I was preparing for a knight fork to grab the queen and my opponent played some random move attacking my knight forcing it to go fork his queen and king. I ended up playing my knight back to e4 and as soon as I did I was so upset realizing what I had done I resigned two pawns up.
Haha, I totally understand the ragequit over stuff like this. Was the game rated?
No or else I would have continued. The game above if it was rated (and it was not) I would have resigned after QxQ.

Here's a great trip to blunderville for you.

I played 15.Nd5 to fork him and subsequently crush him. However. I somehow *forgot* about that plan between move 15 and 16 and played 16.Rxd2??? instead.

I'm tired. :(
