Lose games is always hard... but sometimes it's possible to have fun and lose a game in the same way...
Can you have fun when you keep loosing ?

Losing can be less than enjoyable, but its not the end. I have played some really good game, and lost simply because i was out played. As long as you learn somethng from your losses it evens out.

Well said!
The first 100 games I played [ I was age 8 ] was against my dad and I lost every game.
But after losing those games I improved and very soon was winning enough that my dad quit.
There was much fun in the games lost as I learned about chess.

I was gonna say something about an ex-gf who was a little loose, but I like dropped_a_piece_or_2's comment better.
You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent. I guess if he wins ... he is smarter.

When I lose, I push back the books on the shelf in front of me an inch or two. I do this by throwing a sponge ball really hard from across the room. I also scream insane and illogical profanities at my computer screen causing my dogs to take up residence outside the house. We installed a dog door in an exterior wall because I play chess online.
I don't like losing (who does?), but if I feel like I played my best, it doesn't sting nearly as badly as it does when I do something stupid. It's also a reminder that there's always more to learn and a good incentive to get back to studying or hitting the tactics trainer.

I absolutely hate to lose. Losing, more than winning, is what drives me to play better.
Having said that, if I lose ~5 straight to the same player in blitz, I'll probably (silently) admit defeat and look for another opponent. I will definitely try to get back and play that person again after I've studied my losses tho.

Even Magnus Carlsen stops playing when he loses too often. He has said that playing against engines is no fun.

When I lose, there are two possibilities: I did not play my best, or my opponent cheated. There would be other possibilities if I were playing masters, but these games are rare and I sometimes win them.
Game to game I don't care much if I lose. But, if I loose, I'm pissed!!
Sorry but this is my # 1 pet peeve as well (well in the top 3):
Loose = not tight / Lose = not win
I have only seen this error quite often in the last 15 years, hardly ever before that. I wondered why it is surfacing so frequently now, but I wonder if it's from the skit (from a movie, SNL? can't remember) "You're a looooooooooser, ha ha ha".
Any one know why this spelling fail is so prevalent now?

You would think there would be a grammar app :-)
Does it not bother you or takes you off some pleasure when you keep loosing ?
