Very unlucky premove

#1
I just played a game where I was quite confused as to what was going on, afterwards I realised my opponent was suffering from quite some bad luck. He pre-moved a re-capture but due to my en-passent capture he just lost a piece :D

First time I had this so figured it was a nice one to share

I usually play anonymously when I am on the go, as there is a high likelihood that the internet drops out or I cannot properly finish the game otherwise.
I did resign but that was after the opponent abandoned the game (as it was anonymous I didn't feel like waiting 15 seconds to claim the win). So I guess I am not that sporty (also if I wanted to be sporty/friendly I would still not resign as the position before the mistake was not lost for me, perhaps I would have sacced a piece back.)

@AsDaGo Haha, also a nice example. Fortunately it was not a big blunder as you can immediately win back their queen as well!

The people I really don't get are those who play something like 1.d4 e6 and then after a slow delay 2. Bg5?? hoping to win the queen but losing a full piece if you don't pre-move d5 ...

It actually was a pretty big blunder, because I would've been up a queen for two pieces if I took the queen, but I ended up down a piece instead!

Yeah, maybe it would work in a hyperbullet or ultrabullet game, but probably not blitz.

I will admit I Lefonged someone recently because I saw they were premoving, but then I felt bad and offered a draw and a rematch. ;-)
