Crying, and all it's implications...

When do you start crying in a chess game? I want to cry in the opening, but I usually can't make it appear anguishing enough until the end game. I know the pros can cry at just about any move they wish. They're pros. But that is the most erratic part of my game. It's truly unpredictable when I'm going to start crying. How can I learn to cry at the appropriate times in a chess game?

I'm not sure how lady bits work (well, in this context), but us blokes can generally squeeze a nut and let the good tears roll.

Crying during the game may prevent this kind of reaction

Should you cry when its a lost position, or hold on until the end?

i don't cry. i get very upset with myself and get depressed that i suck so much.

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be a joke?

Excellent question! When you become good enough, you'll be able to see almost all your positions are lost positions, it's basically the end on move three or four. Therefore, practicing crying will do you much better than reading some silly chess book

This is no joke.

If you're not crying, trigs, you're not trying

I treat chess like baseball. No crying.

And lots of steroids?

That button hurts my feelings... sniffle

What's this about?

yeah, quite lazy to read

Crying during a game is unprofessional (I can still recall Kamsky sobbing during the last game of the candidates match against Topalov). However, sometimes it's hard to abstain from crying after the game.

ummm i've missed that
