While exploring this game I found an interesting sideline which required the Black Queen to sacrifice itself. I then looked at the option of defending the Queen with a blocking move which turned out to be a massive blunder which revealed a beautiful continuation for White. Hope you like it.

Black should’ve played c6 for the first one
In puzzle #1, c6 is the correct move. A good lesson is to pay attention to threats on the pawns in front of your King.
A Blunder Watch typically refers to a situation in games, sports, or competitive activities where a significant mistake or error, known as a "blunder," occurs and is closely monitored or highlighted. In chess, for example, a "blunder" is a move that leads to a severe disadvantage, and players or commentators may focus on these critical errors. The term can also be used humorously or in a critical context to point out and observe major mistakes made by individuals, teams, or organizations.

I'll add that some blunders go unnoticed by both players when the position is complicated. Even if a blunder is noticed sometimes the correct response is not immediately apparent. So, always check your opponent's body language for signs that they might have just blundered. Unfortunately, that's not possible in online games without cameras.
