The worst excuses for losing a game ranked from bad to worse (#1)

  1. "I wasn't really paying attention"
  2. "After you'd lost that group there I wasn't really playing my best game anymore..."
  3. "That move you played there was't really possible anyway..."
  4. "Actually I would have won the game if I had played so and so..."
  5. "I can't see well with this light"
  6. "I was too tired to play well"
  7. "Oh, but I have a cold..."
  8. "I had too much to drink" ;)

Bad bad bad! Point made, I think :) --Skelley

Lucky This is a variant from the #1 expression above, it really happened on IGS. "I was talking on the phone while playing."

My usual 'excuse', which is also usually the truth: "I saw my opponent about to make a few points of territory and I got panicked and made a weak group which he then abused until I resigned." --adamzero
