It happens to the best of us

Ever had a good game you felt you played well? I just did and SF approves! http://en.lichess.org/K5CLIoJl

However I'm not posting because of that game but the one directly after. I'm sure everyone has had one of those games where they are a victim of chess blindness and fail to see absolutely trivial tactics. Well in the following game I played mostly ok until I blunder the queen not for one, but two moves in a row! The best part is that my opponent failed to realize it as well.

So if you should be down in the dumps, just take a look at the game and realize that sometimes, even a titled player can make unbelievable blunders, especially at faster time controls. It's nothing to be embarrassed about!
Hmm, just realized my wording for title made me sound a bit arrogant, didn't mean to imply with it that I believed to be "the best of us" more that everyone blunders. Title isn't false, Kramnik famously blundered mate in one in a match against Fritz.
I feel like you are arrogant. Calling yourself "best of us". Did you know that strong majority of players here are just plain bad(including me ofc)?
That really has nothing to do with this conversation. Get out of your judmental pants.
#3 He literally stated that he didn't mean to imply he though he was "the best of us" and was more referring to Grandmasters who blunder on occasion with the title. It really has everything to do with the conversation.
I already said. Get out of your judmental pants.
It's a turn of phrase. Stay on topic. If you're going to act extremely autistic as usual, don't say anything at all.
"even a titled player can make unbelievable blunders, especially at faster time controls."

True, but are you a titled player, OP?
(You should make it visible with your account if you are one, that way people are more prone to pay attention to you!) :)
I was going to ask the same thing as rise_UIED. I assume that he's titled, as 2300+ in blitz is high.
