If I get angry in tournaments it is because I made a stupid blunder. Normally I dont really hide the anger. Its not like poker where if they know how you are feeling they get an advantage. If they made a good move it is really your fault for letting them.
So if I do get angry after losing a pawn or even worse a knight Ill normally just keep playing on. It doesnt get to me that much anyway. Usually I will lose. You cant come back down a knight against a decent player.
Get up and go for a walk and calm myself down. If I have enough time on my clock, I'll go outside and have a smoke, and get some equilibrium back.
if i lose a game on the internet i get totally depressed. i have to get up and stop playing for the rest of the day.
tournaments...i can remain much more calm and collected. not being this way just leads to future losses in the day
I start chewing on the piece that I blundered away.
I don't get mad, my facial expression doesn't change and I try to adopt a Nadal-like psychology.
If I notice that I just blundered away material, I will pick my nose and then adjust the piece that is en-prise.

You blame it on your dodgy knees?

Completely opposite here for me. I dont care about online. but i want to win that prize money and get that rating up in the real USCF tournys.
I tend to get quite upset at myself when I make a stupid blunder, or even an oversigh that could've ended the game in my favor. Winning isn't everything but...I still hate to lose. If I get outplayed...I'm okay with it. I just hate when I lose because of a stupid oversight...
I tend to throw anything close to me. There's times online when I wish the board was in front of me so I could swipe or throw the pieces off the board.
I noticed the shorter the time control....the shorter the fuse I have after making a stupid blunder.looks like I'm gonna have to stop playing blitz for a while since I've staggnated there anyway and start playing CC.OTB I never get angry.
you cant do something else when the move is done,the harm is done on the pieces, first i would accept it as blunder to normalize my thinking and eventually accept it as defeat, i just continue to play and never blame myself for it happen as they happen,sometimes i blame my eyes for not seeing it as they present itself clearly and i failed to see it coming.eye failure is the many causes of my losing situation,sometimes i am thinking of not playing chess anymore for my eyesight fails me just like today ive lost so many joined tournament and team matches which also lowers my self confidence. but for the love of the game i still play on with the hope that my eyesight will regain whati have lost the moment it get refresh again.
for me now i drink a lot of carrots juice to regain and and refresh my eyesight. i eat bananas every 2 hours to regain my mood eating bananas raises our moods level. eating mangoes the unripe ones brings alsorejuvenation to our tired mind.
Good luck with the condition of your stomach acid in 10 years, uhohspaghettio, but that's about far into a debate I would go with someone that tries to refute science by using the word "nonsense!" in every second sentence 
Put simply => What do you do when you feel you are getting mad or blowing a gasket during a chess game?
You know, the times when you flare up when you miss something (like a tactical shot) OTB in a tournament or even worse, play somebody who is doing a great job getting under your skin?
Sure, the wisest answer would be to take a page off Mr.Spock's book and say something along the lines of "emotion is ... illogical".
Curious to see how the better players deal with it in the "real" world?
Thanks in advance!
