Play checkers while they play chess. Dont play it too seriously. Experiment, or maybe some handicap. My friend challenged me if I can win queenless (resulting a 20+ loss streak lol). But I dont care bout my rating. In real world, I'm the best player (atleast in my circle) if I play it seriously. Playing with strangers is stressfull. Have fun playing chess with your friends. If you have no real friend that will play with you in the real world, quit playing chess.com. Online games are suppose to be make you happy. If it makes you mad, this is not the game for you.

To be honest all of my friend and family aren’t very good at chess and they aren’t much of a challenge to beat (I’m not trying to act like I’m an amazing player because I still) So I have to play online to play against people who are equal/better than me. Also losing games doesn’t make me angry as you learn more for losses than wins I’m just try to get some advice to reduce tilting.

I see, so you seek competitive chess. Thats good. Maybe you should try creating a smurf account and stomp some 500ish players like us?

"
If we lose a game, the smart thing to do is question the methods used or the way we apply them. This implies analyzing the game. Very few do that. And even if they do, it is rarer still that they seek alternative methods and work on their understanding and application.
Thus, in the absence of such a working methodology, most repeat their own mistakes over and over again. And they can repeat them for years, with the consequence of making little or no progress in their understanding of the game."

" for most, it is possible to exceed 2000 in months or a few years. However, going from 2200 to 2300, then to 2400, and so on, is more about perfection and absolute precision, which for the vast majority is a job of years and decades, if they succeed at it."

Hello everyone recently I’ve been pretty tilted and I’ve been blundering simple things. Does anyone have any advice?
Bertter put something under one of the table legs & the pieces won't fall on the floor.
I literally wrote the same comment (maybe slightly funnier) and then realized you'd written it a couple comments up 
. We'll see who gets there first in the next forum post.

That is great advice! Analyzing your games is the best way to improve at chess and I need to analyze more than I do.

You sir, are a genius! The best way to stop my tilt is to put something under my table legs!

Yes I do like playing chess competitively! I’m totally fine with losing games as I’m not going to learn as much for my wins but, I’m trying get some advice for when I’m tilted and losing 5+ games in a row for the best ways to recover 🙂

straighten your back, sit up straight!
Also some genius advice!
You've gotten a lot of advice, some worthwhile others not so much.
My advice, if weahter condtions permit,
go to your lo cal park with your favorite music, a snack
and a bubble machine.
Start the music just loud enough as not to 'tilt' others,
set up the machine on the upwind side of the park,
start the device, sit back and watch the reactions.
munch the snack at your leisure.

As has been said in this thread: You can't just "not tilt". You have to find the root causes of your reasons for tilting and then address them. I think as long as you know you put 100% effort into your game, you can learn to take losses as part of the learning experience. Did anyone ever expect to just never lose a game of Chess when playing tons of them weekly? Of course not. So, there's nothing occurring that's unexpected when we blunder and lose. At least if you know, deep down, that you tried you hardest and then reviewed the game with that same energy and focus, it will be easier to control said tilt. After all - what would there be to be upset about in such case? If you're tilting, there's something going on outside of that and it's not just related to your Chess game. Whatever it is, it will come out in any aspect of your life as soon as something doesn't go your way. That's why improving your emotional control at games like chess and poker makes dealing with the everyday nonsense life throws at us much, much easier.
+1 Helpful advice that is in the same grain of what I posted; I'm quoting this so it doesn't get buried, but I can already see the quality of this thread slipping into a joke thread...so my quoting here is a last-ditch stand for those serious about working on their tilt.
That’s also good advice but it’s hard to enjoy chess when you keep losing 🤣
