I blundered Qxf3 the most obvious move and my opponent didnt see it

The opening didn't go so good for me and I didn't think Nxg5 was any good but played it to try and confuse matters. Though normally when I play such stuff I only confuse myself (then 5 or 6 moves later I resign).
Earlier at move 8 I thought bxc3 was forced for some unknown stupid reason because I missed the check on e5 after Nxe4. Man there are some days when I cant calculate anything. Lucky for me my opponent basically after that rolled over. Just wanted to share my stupid blunder with the world so people shame me into not doing it again and if you are looking at this game you can learn yourself not to blunder such stuff. In the game I was sweating after I played my move cause I realized what I had done. :D

Nothing like slipping, and falling flat on your face... having your opponent back up taking guard when they could have stomped on your head easily... and in turn getting up, then knocking them out.

Not the cleanest win, but a win is a win. Good job
Just finished a tournament where I had below a 20% score but zerked every game. Opponents were all about my level.
Hi,

With all my respect to your analysis, @chessanalyst, the move you call "blunder", IMHO was an "Inaccuracy" (in agreement with my computarized evaluator).

You had only 5 Inaccuracies and 6 Mistakes (and 0 Blunders) vs 5 Inaccuracies, 7 Mistakes and 2 BLUNDERS of your opponent, so the advantage you accumulated might explain why he resigned.

As @lurarose said properly, "a win is a win".

Congrats and regards
Well I was +3 then I was +.3 I say thats a blunder. Nevermind what the engine says. Even if I drop a pawn if it wasnt done intentionally its a blunder.
I feel your pain...in this position (I was black) I didn't want to take the free queen. This was even played OTB...the move before I was thinking whether Rxa2+ or Qf2+ was the better move, but just played the latter then anyway *sigh*
