Howling Blunders
Compiled by YouRang
--*--

Horrible moves that lead to an embarrassing loss (or perhaps an embarrassing draw).

Anand's 59. ...Rg3?? turns win into loss (was it blindfold?)
Piket vs Anand, 1998 
(D86) Grunfeld, Exchange, 60 moves, 1-0

Short's 120. Re6?? flushes his long, hard fought game
Short vs Krasenkow, 2004 
(B33) Sicilian, 122 moves, 0-1

Aronian ends game with rank beginner back-rank blunder
Aronian vs Svidler, 2006 
(D80) Grunfeld, 24 moves, 0-1

With 87...Ke6, GM Conquest walks into mate
A Cherniaev vs S Conquest, 2004 
(B22) Sicilian, Alapin, 88 moves, 1-0

With 34...Qe3??, the new Chess World Champion allows mate-in-1!
Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006 
(D20) Queen's Gambit Accepted, 35 moves, 1-0

Top GM botches a simple K+2P vs. K ending with 76. c6? - draw!
Dreev vs R Wessman, 1990 
(D45) Queen's Gambit Declined Semi-Slav, 77 moves, 1/2-1/2

I guess it can be considered a blunder to resign a drawn game..
R G Hegde vs Palatnik, 1988 
(E17) Queen's Indian, 59 moves, 1-0
