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?)
J 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 S Palatnik, 1988 
(E17) Queen's Indian, 59 moves, 1-0
