Reasons I Get Angry When Playing Chess Online


Never happened to me.
I would find it highly amusing :-) Not something to get angry about...


That happens to me often on playchess.com, often times being called worse than "sore loser", but to date has not happened once here on chess.com. The excuse I was given by one guy was that the mouse slipped and he dropped the piece on the wrong square. In blitz chess that does happen, but I still don't give draws because I don't offer draws when it happens to me.
id just laugh

2.no chat with me......
3.losing by take the wrong move......
4.my computer get the problem...
5.cannot online!!!!!!(when raining)

Thank you, Stacy, for this amusing and edifying post. I will be taking "salt and pepper shakers" with me.
I can't think of anything that makes me mad about playing online chess. If I make a blunder that costs me the game, I don't get pissed, I just go "D'oh!" and try to be more careful next game.
Actually, it does kind of piss me off when I'm ahead a whole rook in the endgame and my opponent forces me to take the full 10 moves necessary to mate him instead of just resigning like a good sport. Total waste of our time...

I don't get angry playing chess, first of all, but I was in another thread and thought about this silly list post. So for those of you who say you enjoy my list posts, here we go.
Now post yours.
That is all.
