Losing is for learners.

PRECISELY! Everyone starts out being lousy at something they are new at. That is the ONLY way to get better. One of my favorite sayings is: Experience is a tough teacher. First it gives you the test and only THEN provides the lesson.

And with chess and everything, you only get better by losing. So do you deserve to lose? YES and hopefully a LOT. Have fun, study those better than you, play Rapid never faster when new and only play those within your ELO range and then use Analysis afterwards and read what Stockfish said you should have done. Have fun, rinse and repeat. Hang in there!

The main way anyone gets good at anything

There must be a reason that you lose

  • You play too slow; you run out of time
  • You need better strategy (sorry not trying to be mean)
  • You play chess when you're not feeling like it; you play at your best when you actually want to play chess at that time
