Stop losing.

Take a break when you have 3 losses in a row. Chess is supposed to be fun, as any other game. If it's tilting you, it's time to call it off for the day!

I just think about how its just a game and that I am able to get my rating back later.

True, but most people don't like losing, its your ability to get back up.

For me, I'm immediately stop playing after I'm losing a single game of chess.

Have to agree.

My suggestion is to treat losing less like a bad thing. I mean, obviously you lose elo, but what can be lost can always be gained back later.

So treat losing as what it is--an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and to get better.

Maybe get a girlfriend... that way when you lose, you can just blame it on her stealing all your focus

do that and you probably won't have a girlfriend long lol

Once one learns that rating means nothing, the rage will quench.

punch the wall really hard, then your parents come and beat you for destroying things, and you never rage again

worked for me, i kicked a hole in the wall and i got the biggest beating in my life so i stopped getting mad

theBookwormerwillprevail

ok fair

sndeww

if that doesn't work try punching something really hard when youre mad, then you are in lots of pain. Every time you get mad, you remember the pain, then you stop getting mad, easy

still kinda disagree with the venting method tho.

maybe vent by not destroying physical objects? cause i heard thats kinda bad for your health.

Maybe....

-stop playing and go for a walk (and scream/vent in a quieter place)

-go play something else

-go do something else

-review your game? then find the person who beat you, challenge them, and destroy them. lol

take a deep breath and realize that at the end of the day it's just a game
