Does anyone feel as bad as me? I just reviewed one of my games, and noticed that I could have had a won game if I just didn't miss that move. Now, the game is unclear and I still have a chance of losing. Ever since I saw that big blunder of mine without computer analysis or help of any kind I feel really bad about this, it's like a voice ghosting through my mind 'HOW COULD YOU HAVE MISSED THAT!'

How do you deal with blunders?

(buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) in my head, or more like:

(BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)... and the word why? sung by (?) in a very irritating manner.

a weird unrealistic feeling of the end of the world...

i'm kidding right...

Damn it Berm, every post you make is one you beat yourself up! To see the correct moves at the correct time is what makes a person talented. You must train yourself to see things crystal clearly!

Sometimes when I realise I have made a big mistake I feel bad for days; like that time I ordered the fish instead of the beef!

P.S. Uritbon, you are almost right:

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but then "YOU ARE STUPID! YOU ARE STUPID! YOU ARE STUPID! ..." sung in a very annoying high-pitched voice.

Well, one time I made a blunder that ended up costing me  the game and right after I made the blunder I almost broke my hand slamming it into a door.  Does that count?

That counts twice dude, don't punch doors: punch your opponent, with chess moves!

A queen and a bishop up over one rook, mate in one, and I lose to a rook back rank mate. It was like getting kicked in the teeth.

I was up a rook and a bishop, closing in for the kill on an opponant 150 points higher than I, and I failed to notice the mate in one he'd set me up for.

I was crabby for the rest of the day.

Just played Jude Acers in New Orleans (GM) and i made blunders like you wouldnt believe. Most people would blame the distraction of the crowd, the trucks and cars rolling by and the honking of horns but i wouldn't. I was also nervous but that's still no excuse. I'm not used to playing over the board but all i'll do now is play, play, play and in 2 years will give him the surprise of his life with a game he'll remember. 

Don't blame/beat yourself up too much, even the greatest ones blunder, look at Kasparov:

It's called hindsight. Others call it impatience. Sometimes it happens immediately after you pushed that submit button.  What to do? Mentally berate yourself, then watch with disbelief as you make the same mistake again! If you step away, which I seem incapable of doing, without making a move. Then come back to survey the board once more.. then chances are you'll see it. But I hear this nagging voice reminding me .. "yeah, but if something wrong could happen, it will!"

Oh well. if someone is winning all the time, the fun of playing is somewhat taken out.

how do i deal with blunders?

fight harder.

How do I deal with blunders?

Alcohol, it's my magical tactics vision serum.

I have a great way of dealing with blunders, I get annoyed at myself and often just resign the game immediatley if it is a big blunder, that way I can put it behind me and carry on with other games without struggling on  under the cloud of knowing I have put myself into a hopeless position.

Some may see that as a cowards way out or poor sportsmanship, this is not the case,I just recognize that sometimes it is better not to dwell and to move on.

This only applies to bad mistakes I make that are totally unforced of course, I have no problem with being outplayed and forced into a losing position,I dont resign those games, I just cant abide putting myself into a losing position with no help from my opponent :)

The margarita preparation that's it! Tequila, triplesec, vodka. I try to make things more complex in my next moves.

You are totally right. I would say, ALWAYS happens after you pushed submit button lol.

A blunder I made on as early as move 7 made me write this post !

I think the point is, we should study/review our losses and learn from them...then only forget about them, as some of you noted by alcoholic means

Well, Bermuda, I truly empathize with your situation. I used to encounter this a lot in the endgame. I would have a have an edge going into the endgame, but because the endgame is the weakest part of my overall game, I would make a blunder causing my position to slip from winning to drawish. Sometimes I'd lose, but it's the draws that really infuriate me!

How do I deal with it during the game? I reason to myself, "If I put myself in position to win once, I'll do it again..." Keep plugging forward just like we do in the game of life.

How do I deal with it after the game is over? I have adopted a sharp 'gambitish' style of play; a style where I grab the initiative and hold onto it with a death grip. I realize my need to study the endgame more in depth, but in the meantime I play classically.

two queens and two knights and the enemy back rank checkmated me :(

and also i fell victim to the fools mate, but that was because i wasnt concentrating :(

There is nothing worse than a bad blunder for my mood.
