Worst light square bishop ever?

It's so awful to play such of a defensive position, with such of a bad piece and then you realize that you don't know a thing about that opening and you had mess it up. All you got is fighting for a draw. I end up blundering that goddamn bishop, left it hanging because of the back rank mate, but luckily my opponent didn't see it. What you think?

The worst light squared bishop ever has to be this one:

This was a C960 game between Houdini and Rybka. As you can see the bishop stayed on a8 until the game was surprisingly adjudicated as a win for white.
Jeez that was a kick in the ass of rybka by houdini. I totally agree that is most probably the worst light square bishop for black in the chess history. Anyone know other example? Cheers
#3 Yeah, better a bad light square bishop than none i guess. Cheers!
