The "Losing Streak" should be removed

I suck at chess. Today I looked at my stats, and my winning streak was 2 or 3, but my losing streak was 14. I suck at this, and the losing streak just puts people like me down. I hate that feature, and it should be removed. AM I THE ONLY ONE THINKS THAT THE LOSING STREAK FEATURE IS BAD?!!!

Yes you are.  No one cares enough about anyones losing streak to go to the trouble of looking it up.  But if it does bother you, use it as motivation to improve.

I also suck at chess but today I'm a little bit better at it than I was yesterday :-)

I cared enough to try and get a longer winning than losing streak. Last time I looked I was 10 to 9 down. And I still suck at chess.

Yeah, seems whenever I get past 1450 I lose a bunch of games. The key is to not let it get to your head. Don't get emotional.

I just looked at v3 and losing streak isn't there. Not sure if it hasn't been added or if the site plans on it being like that in the future.

I played The Losing Streak at chess the other day and lost. Does that make me crap or what.

Not to worry though. I was rude and hateful to it and told it it wasn't my friend any more.

I've lost 11 standard games in a row. Best best win streak is only 6. All players have bad streaks from time to time, it means nothing. I doubt I'll ever win 12 standard games in a row so my losing streak will probably always be higher than my winning streak. Do I care about that?..... NOPE lol.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Or maybe it was Don Henley. A pop star anyway.

As long as the streaks aren't in your underwear, you're doing okay.

What is this losing streak? Where can I look mine up?

Holy jeepers! My live bullet winning streak is 75 games!!!

It can be a useful indicator of sandbagging.

You should be able to see it in the stats on v2 of the site.

I use the app on an iPhone5c. The stats section there lists winning and losing streaks.
