@letsbeworms basically i was white and ahead on material and blundered into a position where i was about to lose everyrhing, as it was this was the only position that equalised rather than puts me at a massive disadvantage. Black takes the bishop ive got over him, and i trade rooks

my new chess regime is i just refuse to ever resign to see if i can force a draw or victory on time but sometimes it results in agonising positions where my opponent has +10 material and has been a M1 for 20 moves but keeps missing all the checkmates
