6 Blunders in a row



Both players above average and playing classical yet we have 6 blunders in a row.

I don't think I will ever see this again playing classical.

If the odds of a blunder are 1 blunder in 10 moves then the odds of this happening are 1 in a million.
My mistake it was only 5 blunders in a row still very unusual.
After further checking we blundered 5 times in a row twice.
Yep, pretty interesting game to put it in the least...
MrPushwood is correct.

It would be similar to saying 10% of days are over 90 degrees and there was 12 in a row. That's one in a trillion.

More than 10% of the days are over 90 degrees in the summer. That's Just like blunders are more common in some positions than others.


This game is a blitz game played between players above 2000 rating, yet the players made 8 blunders in a row. A few moves later, there was 7 blunders in a row. But this is not uncommon.

I was talking about classical chess there are less blunders made there.
