This is the worst move played in the history of chess, change my mind

Wow, that's pretty cool and interesting. Thanks for this source.

> 5. You play the Pirc. You have a 46% winrate with it, while I have a 52% winrate with my Alekhine. Arguably, winrate is much more important than the Stockfish evaluation, so if we use this logic, Alekhine>Pirc. (Even in the entire Lichess database, the Alekhine scores a tad more than the Pirc and has the highest win rate of all the openings, tied with the Caro-Kann.)

Then why do I see this:

> ...clown.

Namecalling definitely starts an argument, as well as points involving winrate and simple writing differences.

Just don't go straight to calling someone a clown, even if the Alekhine Defense isn't losing, I don't understand the point of it either.

This is my recent candidate for worst move ever (mine at least). Just a game against some random player on chess.com that I imported here for analysis. I was playing black and had a modest advantage most of the game. On move 35 he blundered his queen and here all I had to do was the obvious Rxe5 and I'd be up a full queen with an easy win. However, inexplicably I played the almost unfathomable move Rb8 and was mated on the spot.

Good learning experience. My brain shut off for just one move and I paid for it! LOL. I definitely slammed the table after this one but also had to laugh at my carelessness.

I’ve numerous moves that could be the worst ever played... if I linked to just a few of them this thread would be 10 pages long... yes, I’m a clown but as I have a big red nose and size 25 shoes AND a car that falls to bits on its own, I won’t be offended if you call me that name.. PARRRRRP!

What is chess without drama?

As Tartakower said "....the blunders are all there on the board, waiting to be made."

Absolutely. I remember the famous quote.
