should I quit?

Interesting responses. I don't know about you but if I'm not improving, I'm not having fun. Although winning is one indication of improvement, it's not all of it. I just started a little over a month ago and wasn't having that much fun at first because I kept losing and there were a lot of fairplay rules violators. But I love the puzzles, drills, lessons, the game reviews, etc. Yes, I'm paying a membership fee but honestly the prices are reasonable and the difference of how much fun I'm having is huge. The rate at which I'm improving is huge. I'm only at 300 but when I play bots I have put them at over 1000 elo to be challenging. It's incredible how strong players are even at my level. So, I don't freak out about losing even a few games in a row anymore. You might say it's cuz I just started and my rate of improvement is accelerated in the beginning but I wasn't improving until I started doing some homework and applying it. I mean it helps to have access to the activities on the site but you don't have to.

I'm so sick and tired of constantly getting tilted at chess, I've just had enough, I'm losing braincells with every loss, should I just quit? should I at least quit playing online?

@Timmeh2007 . I'm a therapist and I suggest you either getting one or you try to get better by beating bots. Chess is also about having FUN! So challenge Martin with 50-some queens and try to have a bit of fun . That's all I recommend u doing. I know what u feel like. So beat every bot one-by-one, but have a bit of fun with each one. You will get better. with practice. Hope this helps!

I f ur a therapist then y r u playing chess.

This guy posted this thread six days ago and is on line now, so I guess the question was more rhetorical than for real. Another attention grabber having a seizure on the forums.
