"TOP 17 reasons" why I hate chess!!

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen! For me, chess is a love-hate relationship with 64 squares.

Chess has fascinated me for 8 years. It’s a beautiful battlefield of strategy, creativity, and endless possibilities. I love the thrill of a well-executed checkmate and the satisfaction of outsmarting an opponent. But let’s be honest — sometimes chess can be incredibly frustrating. The blunders, the impossible puzzles, the hours spent stuck in the same position.

Welcome to my "TOP 17 reasons why I hate chess"! I'd love to start with them:

№17 - Someone offers a draw while lost:

I'm sure you've met such players (mostly beginners) against whom you have a big advantage, and they just tell you, "draw?". Why?? I have 2 pieces more and I'm scared, mate in 3 moves!


№16 - Parents' yelling:

Now I want everyone who will write this reason in the TOP 5 to write in the comments "In my TOP 5 XD". I put it in 16th place for a reason. I don't get that much trouble (for now). I hope you do too.

№15 - When you ain't prepared:

We aren't Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, or these super GMs. I am telling this because they know every opening, or at least how to play in it without losing fast. In one of my games, I lost a castle move and a pawn. I will make a sacrifice, and I will show the game .

№14 - Players with a big hope:

Yeah, people said: "Hope is dying last". That's true, but when you see that you'll get checkmated, why do you have to lose your time and your opponent's?

№13 - "The loser is the guy who makes the last mistake"(Savelii Tartakover):

It's not happening to me that much; this is why I put it in 13th place. Everyone who puts "get beaten fast" in first place, chat in the comments: "knock knock, it's me XD."!

№12 - Stalemate:

If anyone makes a stalemate against me, I'd love that, but when I do that(very rare), BUT if that happens, I am getting anger issues.

№11 -  Hard work, but at what cost?:

Hardly happens to me, but what's the point of playing a game, proceed 3+ hours, and you just... lose? That makes me more sad than angry.

№10 - Losers quit moving

Now these are the real L bozos. Playing a game and then they leave their account online like they still think, but went outside, drinking coffee, playing hide and seek, and what else? They love to play move at 00.01 seconds, and probably the winning guy went to the toilet or somewhere, and then he loses on time. 

№9 - Blunders:

They hurt the most when you are winning, and then you lose your advantage. Often, I am doing this on Chess.com.

Tell the right moves in the comments!

№8 - Missed Mate in 1:

Ruins your entire day. Getting a checkmate in one move is one of the TOPPEST on the TOP!

?? The right moves in the comments!

№7 - 100 rated players with higher elo in Chess.com:

Now you know what I mean: our favorite cheaters. Now you think: "Why're you putting it in 7th place?". Because, ladies and gentlemen, Chess.com is saying you "No worries!". Even without reporting for cheating, the Stockfish users get banned, and you get your lost Elo back. 

№6 - Your favorite sound:

The sound of a clock that says: 00:00 hurts the most.

№5 - Streak from lessons:

People said that we learn from our mistakes. The "Streak from lessons" is "Streak from losses". The losses are giving you the most lessons.

№4 - Losses from guys who can't protect their own pieces:

This sucks! Losing to a low-rated player without even cheating is rare, but sucks!

Now... It is time... for TOP 3!!!:

№3 - GET BULLIED BY CHESS PLAYERS!!!

Dang man, that is very bad. You think that chess players understand you the most, but guys, in every group, there will always be people who will want to let you down.

№2 - MOUSESLIP!:

Happens almost every day, but hurts with days. Imagine... you are winning and in a few moves... BAM! Everything is now in your opponent's hands. Sometimes I rage quit very badly.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO READ THE WHOLE THING PATIENTLY AND REACHED HERE TO SEE THE TOP 1 REASON WHY I HATE CHESS SOMETIMES!(I know there are guys, who scrolled till here )

TOP 1 !!!!!!

№1 - GETTING 4TH PLACE:

Sorry if I disappointed anyone, but this makes me rage since I was 7 years old. Last time I think I got 4th place at 11 years old, and I was really mad. We'll see will I rage if I get 4th place after some time. 

This blog is going in my activity, but also for the Club "BlogChambers". Yes, I will participate in Season 9 of their tournament, and I will be happy to qualify for "the Round of 16". Then you will see my other blog. Probably from the main picture, you understood it's going to be about reasons why I love chess. Yes and no, because I am going to add another thing, but it's a secret. I need to qualify first. Wish me luck!
