Let me count the ways.

I almost put this in puzzles to make a game out of counting all the terrible moves both my opponent and I made.

I am just starting to learn the lines of the French.
Accordingly this was a very sloppy game on my part.
Fortunately for me it was for my opponent as well.

So I offer this to all the beginner players of what not to do.

Clearly. That's not a French. 😉

And i got to the e4 d5 part, granted they were reversed ( minor technicality right 😉 ).
But the B was blocked with his pushed pawn.

Be very careful when transposing into a different line. Sometime you will get stuck with some thing you weren't expecting.

Game 2041656

Okay so here is a better example of my winawer.
However it is not quite a Blunderful as the first game which was more the intent of the thread.

Although from a strategic stand point the fact that half of my pieces weren't developed demonstrates quite a weakness both for me and my opponent.

"How do I blunder?".......I guess I misunderstood; I was going to give some of the techniques I use to blunder, but I guess that's not what you are asking.

For the winawer i think whites has to play the e5 mate and he didnt i think you just played the french oppening though..

It's still the Winawer if white omits e5. It's just that 4. e5 is a much better continuation. MCO gives 4. Nge2, 4. a3, 4. Bd2, 4. Qg4 and 4. exd5 as possible moves.
