Be proud of every game, even if the opponent resigned in the first move. It's part of the fun, like @Elipsesfoci said.
Yeah be proud because it wasn't from luck you won, you won using YOUR INTELLIGENCE but just a tip if you want to be more better learn openings such as Scotch and Sicilian dragon it will make you stronger 💪.

Haven't looked at this post in forever, but I will respond to myself knowing what I know about chess now having peaked at 1640 rapid. Yes. It is silly to be proud of this win. 🤣🤣🤣 this was just bad chess all around.
Na bro
So, I'm still finding my way but I have to say I am really proud of this win. I'm only up to about 640 Elo at the moment, but what I enjoyed about this game was that I was in a completely losing position in the start and I somehow managed to come up with the win. I don't have much experience against the wayward queen and I definitely wasn't prepared for it. I just tried to defend as best as I could and was somehow able to capitalize on a mistake he made on the back rank. Check out this game and let me know what you think. Criticisms or advice are always welcome. My goal is to reach 1000 by the end of the year.
