Offline Friendly Chess Match: Costly Bishop Blunder

I played an offline game with a friend (Botsrequired) today.

The gameplay wasn't planned, as it was an unplanned visit. He's slightly ill, so I didn't go along with my board.

We randomly decided to play a friendly, offline match using the chess.com android app.

I played as Black, so in the video, I'm identified as 'Guest', since we played on his smartphone.

I lost today's game. Maybe I decided to go soft on him. Just, maybe.

I made a terrible blunder at the 00:42 timestamp. I played Bishop to B4.

I simply lost interest and played passively, no longer taking it seriously. I resigned at that point. But for the sake of gameplay, I simply continued without interest. It was a friendly game, so I didn't worry whether I won or lost.

For the record, I beat him 70% of the time. I wasn't simply in my comfort zone today due to the rotating view whenever it was a player's turn.

It was my first time playing on a screen that small, and on a rotating view. While I normally play on the board and online, via my PC, it was the first time I would be playing on a shared smartphone screen, as it was an offline game.

It confirms my theory that a slight change in perception can alter the gameplay experience.

Observation

I play terribly as black. I make blunders I wouldn't make when playing as white. More reasons I should play more as black. Regardless, Bishop B4 was a terrible move in that case.

The gameplay

Time control: Unlimited.

Is love at first sight true love?

In this video, I expressed my opinion on whether love, at first sight is actual love or simply attraction which is borne out of certain physical attributes a person possesses. Physical attributes such as skin colour, height, shape, accent, mode of dressing, and many more can be attractive factors that can easily be mistaken for love.

A line needs to be drawn between love and infatuation which is nothing but a function of attraction. All these are discussed in this video.
