don't tip over the whole board when you are one move away and don't say to people that you won when you lost other wise your opponent will become very annoyed

Don't stop thinking just because it's your opponents turn.  Some folk sort of switch off for a brief period.  At each point in the game try to assess not only your best options but your opponents too.  This will allow you to read the game better.  When you get good at that you will find that when the opponent moves something you were not expecting therein lies his/her mistake.
