Getting more angry losing at chess than any other game
Sort:
Does anybody besides me get extremely angry when they lose at chess? I play a lot of games and don’t usually get mad except when I lose at chess. Lol
Nope, you're the only one. The rest of us remain calm and unperturbed by our losses....
It’s mainly when I lose to my dad so that could be the common denominator haha In glad you all remain calm haha
Even though I’m an adult it still bothers me lol
I only get mad at myself if I lose by a silly mistake :p otherwise I accept any result fair game :)

You joined 2 days ago, and play nothing but blitz.
Are you getting angry because youre not improving?
Are you getting angry because youre missing simple tactics?
Are you getting angry because youre hanging material?
If its because of any or all of these things. You need to play longer time controls. If youre just going to play 10 minutes, not give yourself time ot really see/understand a position? You might as well nail one foot to the floor, and run around in circles.
I’m talking about just in general not necessarily on here. I’m using this site to improve myself

I got irritated when I lost 10 in a row. But normal losses mixed in with wins not so much unless it was a particularly stupid loss.

Stop criticizing blitz,it is excellent way improve.Blitz teach not only to play well,but use time well. And is very difficult to find opponents for rapid over 2000 rating.
I become angry every single time. It helps that the people that beat me are almost always idiots in my mind. This is really what makes it fun for me.
Also if you are toxic is it really gratifying to be able to crush concepts you knew were trash once you become better.

Losing to an idiot makes you feel better?

Many can't handle losing. For this reason Candy Crush was a hit. Everyone is a winner.
Learn from your mistakes

I agree, most of us almost like losing a game. Actually most of us get angry after winning a game. We love to show other people rhe games we blundered terribly.
I mean, I get pissed when I obviously make a blunder.
But I guess I'm not too bad on the angry part.
But I know some sore losers out there.

I just resigned a game on another site up a queen for rook and bishop. I had a work call i had to take. Got off the phone, sent the guy a message apologizing and explaining. Angry? Nope...

Why get angry about losing a game of chess , I just don’t get it. 🤷♂️........if someone was to hack my bank account, that would be worth getting angry about ! 🙀
Its called priorities. Some place their priorities in things that truly matter, while other place them in things that dont really matter. I know a guy that a USCF Expert player. To make money, he would sell his chess.com rating points. I thought he was joking, but he wasnt.

Some people get angry in trivial matter. Like refused a rematch, you forgot to say gg, etc. Or failed to notice her new hairdo, his new watch, etc.
