How about the fact that I bothered to get out of bed today?

poor Sammour Hasbun.
I vote for the second option.
Also think woodshower was a big blunder
yeah, it was the truly ordinary Kb1, tucking the king after qside castling. he had other options, but it's a 75 minute time control and he basically spent 2/3 of his time on move 10. it's a position where whether you play Kb1 or g4 or h4 or... you know either one is ok, you just want to play it pretty quickly usually. here's the game:

Jorge won his game this week to win a match for his team.

It's almost certainly the girl, assuming she doesn't already have a boyfriend or something, but if for whatever reason (I don't know the particulars) she can be excused, it has to be Hasbun... ouch.
2nd one.
we seem to be divided about 33-33-33 % in voting this week. no clear blunder winner. tomorrow we have special guests.

What a way of count is this? I think everybody has voted Sammour Hasbun.
Except me, I voted San Francisco Mechanics
maybe im bad at counting... i thought wandering voted for the girl and h777 for the mechanics. there aren't even that many votes now that i review the thread ;-)
Finally, for Blunder of the Week, we had three candidates:
- a girl turning Sam down for a dinner date (blunder of her lifetime, not just the week)
- the play of the entire SF Mechanics team in losing to Seattle.
- Sammour Hasbun spending 46+ minutes on one simple move in the opening against Carlito Agner in USCL play. later he missed half a dozen wins and draws blundering in acute time pressure, and his opponent scored a 300+ point upset to lead Carolina to a draw against Boston.
What do you vote?
