Our last example came from one of our readers:
"Hi, Alex!
In CT-3825 you said "Blunders don't get worse than the one made in a recent match in the London Chess League", so I thought I would send you my recent blunder:
S. Dunning – J. McCabeWirral Chess League 2, 22.04.2011
I had a winning position (for example, White can play 61.f4! gxf4 62.¦d3), but threw it all away in one move: 61.¦g2?? hxg2 0–1
The interesting question is why we make such mistakes. Tiredness at the end of a long game (and day) is one reason. In this case I think I had convinced myself that the pawn on h3 could not move...
With best regards,
Stephen Dunning"y
