frick i hate myself

You need to not think of yourself as a bad chess player or someone who cannot stop losing games. You have an exceptional rating and you keep on putting yourself down. It makes me sad that you think your bad.

Being angry about losing or specific move. I had to research what it meant as well. I'm unsure of its origin but suspect it might come from pinball where tilt was when a player would get upset and shake the machine (?).

A man named josh once told me if you focus on your rating you forget to play chess sometimes you cant worry if youll lose or not just play the best move who knows and maybe you were only meant to not go past 1985

just started actually playing chess and that title is basically my thoughts on the matter lol

It is true, Reed (@centipedeSovereign), chess actually does a psych number on folks. I remember thinking, "Hey, I thought this was supposed to be a game, not psychological counseling."

'Stop ... you're both right ... it can be a floor wax AND a dessert topping.' (Saturday Night Live circa 1980's)

ADDED: The 'counseling' is all an internal number ... your opponent isn't really needed for this part, LOL.

I don't think I'm bad, I'm just think I'm play horribly. also tilting makes me think I'm not deserving of 2k and Im just some lucky ahh 1800

@ChanMan4 we all feel this way. Even at 600, we all feel the same. Well, maybe Hikaru doesn't, LOL.

he probably did when he resigned in a completely winning situation vs Magnus who is his biggest rival

alr bro, he's trying to be nice

guys be nice we don't say "SHUT UP" we say silencio.

don't worry man. sometimes for me it's over 200 elo in just couple of hours. let it bleed. it will get better

Frack that.

Tilted is actually an old school term. I guess, it's coming back now. You're sort of stuck in the middle - between too young to know where tilting comes from and too old to know current slang.
