I guarantee you will never guess how he blundered:
White to make his 40th move in John McGregor (1882/no ECF) - Spanton (1884/171) |

White played 40.Bg3 - so far, not so bad. Then he went to the loo. I played 40...Nc6, and JM returned just as his time ran out. Heading for the toilets was "the worst move he's ever made." Despite this being a round-three game, JM did not realise the time control was 90 minutes plus a 30-second increment for all moves (no extra time at move 40).
I have now gained 11.4 Fide elo in the tournament.
