After finishing your first chess game, are you more motivated to play another one after a win, or after a loss?

Nothing. I've completely lost what little chess concentration I had. Completely scrambled - nothing but misses. (Yes, I'm whining)

Neither winning or losing really drives me to play another game, I'll play as long as I have an inclination to do so.

Losing against someone better gives me motivation to improve myself. It's pretty useful too!

I am more likely to play again if I lose, but I try to resist the impulse because sometimes it results in tilt.
