I usually start my day by moving in all or in most of my correspondence games. Today when I logged in to Red Hot Pawn and saw if any of my opponents had resigned, I noticed a peculiar thing that I thought was not possible, I had lost game, reason was that I got mated... At the time I of course immediately went to see what game it actually was and then it pained me even more, it was a game where I was up in material and where my opponent had not done anything all that impressive in matter of attacking. So, I had missed his/her first actual big threat and just went on attacking myself. It was not even anything all that difficult mate to see but somehow I just did not see what the queen move my opponent made actually threatened besides my queen. After that I really wanted to hit my head against a wall... Obviously I did not go through with that plan, I value my head too much for that to ever actually happen.
