Happy Blunders
So, as we all know, every player blunders. Some more often than others. But sometimes those apparently blunders actually work out for the best.
Here's one I just had that I'd like to share, and I'm always interested to see more.
My move 15...Bd4 i would typically be considered a blunder since it loses my Queen, but it ultimately worked out because keeping my bishop alive meant that after I moved 18 ... Nf5 white couldn't save his own queen.
I would have been curious to see the game would have worked out if he hadn't missed 21. h3 to prevent mate; I guess my best move after 21. h3 would have been 21....Bb6 or 21...Bf2 to prevent the knight fork on e6
