Just be glad it's chess, with few consequences.
The other day, a police officer in the US said he meant to pull out his taser but accidently pulled out his gun and killed his suspect.
Ooops!

Well, the depth of the calculation doesn't guarantee that the played move be of acceptable quality. It's important to calculate exactly and to evaluate accurately as well.
I'm not sure I understand the situation you're describing. Do you mean you calculate correctly but mistakenly drop your piece on the wrong square - a square that doesn't correspond to your correct calculation?
ah.. like mixing up the order of pieces to use in a multiple-piece trade, or forgetting an in-between move... Come to think of it, I do that sometimes...
yeah that be true and the most common one is when you calculate deeply and you find out you r going to win but instead u mess up the move order :D
I wish there were a "confirm" button like in some FICS boards
There is! go to settings and turn it on...

Yes, this is the case. I'm trying to understand the reason and how to get over it. I've noticed that usually it happens when i calculate very far and wide. Looks like i'm overwhelmed with moves and i can mix up them.
A few weeks ago, I was in a winning position and calculated out a beauty which would lead to a discovered attack on my opponant's queen along with a Knight check. I went over it again and again and knew it would work and so I confidently moved my knight. And then he took my queen because I had neglected to make any of the initial moves and moving my knight at the point I did was just stupid. I almost gave up chess altogether that day.
It happens all the time when I am playing casually for fun. It has happened twice in a USCF tournament. Basically, I picked up the wrong piece, and had to move that piece when I intended to move a different piece. In one game, I recovered. In the other game, I had seen a series of forced moves leading to checkmate, and then picked up the piece that I intended to move in the second move of the series of moves. I actually put the piece back on its original square and said oops, I didn't mean to move that piece but my opponent called "touch move" and forced me to move that piece. I was so rattled that I then made 3 consecutive blunders, losing a pawn, a rook and then my queen, after which I resigned. In short, I lost a game that I should have won. Needless to say, it was very embarassing.
Hello. It happens in a real games as well but mostly when i solve puzzles. It's very annoying when i know right move because i have calculated deeply and i'm confident about position but then i play shocking losing move. Looks like my messy brain makes jokes. Actually it happens not only in chess with me. I can fail any test this way. Is it curable or not?
