CHESS STRESS!
Sort:
Um not really
To stop stressing, you have to figure out why you are stressing? For example, I told myself I wanted to be a GM but not put the work in like studying or hiring a coach… when I saw so many post talk about dedicating hours daily to get better, I gave up on that idea since I don’t have the motivation to do any of that… since that has happened, win or lose, I just play to past time and it feels good.

Hello, I also have a problem with stress in chess. My main problem is with tilts. I hit 1900 on a different account, then I tilted to 1700 and rage quit for the umpteenth time. I created this account, then I lost (rapid) to 1700s and 1600s and drew a 1500 player! I have a goal of reaching 2000 ELO by 2026, (teenager rapidly improving). I jeep trying to quit and take breaks from chess, but I am hopelessly addicted. I am trapped and can’t breathe! Can anyone offer some advice please?
Dude, chess.com here has a seriously competitive playing field. I got to 2550 blitz, and now I'm struggling to keep 2300. I honestly think this site has too many cheaters...
Proof: It's so much stronger than lichess, which is unusual.

I wish I could be the slightest bit good at blitz.
I am a steaming pool of hot diarrhea at blitz. I play it on an alt or anonymously because I suck lol.
All the strong players seem to gravitate to blitz. I got up to 900 rapid. I get eviscerated in blitz by 700s.
Yeah but anybody got ideas how to cope and any tips for chessmoms cause my mom sacrifices her queen for no use and can’t ever checkmate me I also end up getting my queen to the endgame with rooks

So then don’t even put in this dude just exit and go get checkmated
Yes...quite often when playing OTB and rapid against strong players.
Who do you mean
If you play only for the sake of the game and if you dont have a coach or nobody kills you if you lose you dont have to be irritated!! You will grow slower than an arena bull but you will be more healthy stress-free
My dad kills me if he sees me o the computer
me too but we can't do chess
I also don't take it home so yeah
Do you ever get stress while playing a game and end up losing or panicking because you're running out of time?
Here we will talk about how to cope and other things
