If this happened in a tournament game, I’d run to a forest and scream for an hour. · Training Game

It’s always painful to throw a win away, regardless of whether it’s a training game or an actual one, but, what I did in this game is so ridiculous that I actually feel relief. I am never going to repeat this mistake over the board. There’s no way. It’s burned into my memory.
