How do I control my anger after losing a game?

Gentlemen! Start your engines!

What does your response have to do with what I said? Not sure why you quoted me.

See a psychiatrist!

Whack your thumb with a hammer. It’ll take your mind off of losing. Or, go the mail box and see if your customers have finally paid you for the work you did two months ago. It’ll take your mind off chess. Call your suppliers and ask for another week or so to pay them. It’ll take the sting out of losing a board game. In other words, focus on real life, not shuffling tiny pieces of wood on a checkerboard. 

1. tea, soda, water, snack, or small food to make you cope with it or help compose yourself

2. nightcore or just music in general, i always like listening to it after a loss (it helps focus)

3. play some casual games with friends, otb i always played bullet to feel pumped and better!

4. analyze by yourself and try to acknowledge despite the loss "theres always the next game"

5. be more thankful and realize that your opponent played well even if we hate to accept it

(trust me ik but it helps cause its like closure, we gotta move on)

Winning the next game generally helps me

I have to tell myself it is for fun.

If you have issues with anger while playing chess then it means you are an immature and closed minded person who should not even be playing chess. 

If you are only angry at yourself internally then it would at least be ok because you are not bothering others.

If you start flipping out and directing your anger toward the opponent, or expressing it in a way that is bothering others then please do everyone a favor and never play chess again until you learn how to manage your emotions.

I have encountered angry immature players before. One was a kid about 10 years old who started flinging chessmen around the room at a tournament in San Francisco Mechanics Institute tournament. Another time it was a grown man who stormed out of the room swearing and shouting. You can also look up a video where scumbag Viktor Korchnoi loses to Sofia Polgar who was still a kid at the time. He insults her and runs out of the room. I think for behaviors like that players should be disqualified from at least the next tournament unless the person they offended speaks on their behalf or something. 

Chess is already an inherently problematic game in that it already artificially makes two persons an enemy of the other on the chess board. So, if a person is having issues with anger it will only encourage them to be hostile further by reinforcing this distorted worldview.

maybe try to learn why you lost so that next time you can do better.

channel the rage into positive energy.

Is your anger limited to just losing in chess or do you go through life getting angry at disappointments of all kinds? Regular anger is not productive: it leads to all kinds of things and none of them is good...for you and those around you. You have a choice in how you decide to respond to things, which is a lesson it took me many years to learn.

I'm a pretty ungifted chess player, and, if I got angry every time I lost, I probably would have had a heart attack by now. I regularly lose more than half the time to my two grandsons. I don't get angry, and I usually don't even get embarrassed. I just compliment them on their good games and keep playing against the chess engines in order to stay competent enough that my grandsons will not find it boring to play with me. The nice thing about chess engines is that they don't care if you lose and they won't have a bad opinion of you if you do.

Accept that chess may not be your destiny. I have always found advanced mathematics a breeze, but can't play a single note of music. I'm a much better Go player than I am a chess player, and I've come to realize that I'll never be as intuitive or successful in my chess play as I am with Go.  If your anger continues to interfere with your enjoyment of the game, then maybe you need to consider whether there is some alternative intellectual endeavor you might be better at that you and want to spend more time on. 

Fling silicone pieces. They're safer.

It doesn't matter if you Win, Draw or Lose. It is the same difference. 

Tell us that you're an angry person without telling us that you're an angry person.
