Sep-02-18		wordfunph: "The advantage of having a poor memory is that eventually I've managed to forget them. I will, however, always remember my 1992 clash with Igor Rausis. 11 moves into the game my opponent had all of his pieces out and had castled, whereas as white all I had to show for my development was having placed my queen in front of my king. Six moves later it was game over, and not in my favour. A big, big lesson: just because you are good (or think you are!), you'd better be sure before breaking general principles." - GM Chris Ward (when asked for his memorable worst move) Source: Chess Monthly 2017 December
