Missed queen capture through a 3 move sequence of checks. I won later though. Still sad
I failed to be born in the Soviet Union or in Scandinavia. And didn't even have the good sense to grow up in New York.

Something very similar happened to me once, but even worse. It was late in the evening, i had a dead won position, I saw a liquidation leading to an easily winning endgame. And right when I was about to play the winning sequence, my body got a panic reaction for no reason. I blundered and lost.

I play chess late...at 16...if I start below 8...maybe I can be national athletes
I don't know the biggest chess miss, but the cutest chess miss is Anna Cramling.
it hurts my soul to this day, nearly 3 months after the incident. and it will continue to hurt for many more.
I miss my Queen... All of them.
So many lost throughout the years.
They were my one and plural true love.
Okay, sometimes I wanted to change my queen for another, or even have a second...a third if the board permits me... What can I say... I am a player.
Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean, that I love my first one any less.
No no no, I would sacrifice my own castle, my home and safety, all for her happiness.
Heck sometimes, I even play around with the opponents Queen. Even if she is married, and the bishops says this is not hounorable.
Not my blunder. She came on to me first!
Stalking me from castle to castle.
I try to loose her. But she kept coming after me.
What am a king to do? Of course I take her.
I just don't believe in a monogamy chess game.
One specific time I even had two Queens hitting on me simultaneously... Man, that was so hot.
I won't give you the details, but unfortunately I dragged out the time, before they could capture me.
Biggest mistake in my life.

Monogamy is underrated.
There's more to life than being sated.
And though one love can surely fill
our need to frolic as we will,
that one true love can give much more:
a trusted port and family lore!
A kindred soul through thick and thin,
is worth much more than touching skin!
So sowing oats is not enough.
We all need love when times get tough.

same for me.
When I was 6, my parents took me to see the local chess club. when we returned, there were only people aged at least 80, and no young people. when my Mom asked if there was a junior section, the guy at the club said "no, but he (meaning me) will play with the seniors"
my story with chess in IRL ended there until 2023, when I finally started playing, and above all, fortunately with people of my age.
otherwise I could have had 2 careers like Taimanov
