How do you feel after you have just made a gross blunder?

Sort:
eBusiness

I get a resigned feeling and then remind myself that good positional play isn't worth a lot if one can't see two moves ahead. It always serves as a not-so-nice reminder to the limits of my feeble human brain.

wuwuwuwuwu

swearing really helps

As soon as I make a bad move, I can see just how dumb it was. Then I go AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH! WHY?! Why did I do that?

it creates a short head jerk, and if bad enough a swear word, then I move on

I usualy wind up swearing at the computer for not crashing when I needed it to and then I get over it.

Stages in "Blunderitis"

1. Your face turns red with embarrasment

2. You cover your face

3. You yell "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

4. You go into a coma for three hours

5. You spend the rest of the day crying

 though blunders is what improves our game so after I dont feel that bad

When I make a big blunder, I often feel as though I will never truly improve as a player.  "If I could have made a move like that, I'll never be a decent player, because at sonme point you need to eliminate the gross blunders" ... that's the sort of thought I have. 

The challenge is to put that feeling away and view the board without depression.   It's not easy to do!

I promptly resign.

Then I go over the past moves one by one till I find out where I made the mistake and how I could have prevented it.

I just feel really stupid with myself, but in 90% of the games I feel that way and... around 110% of the games I loose I think how can I be so stupid and play so bad! Laughing

Offcourse keeping my poker face mayby my opponent blunders more then I do

About a second or two after the move I usually see it and my heart drops into my stomach. I'm still disappointed even if my opponent doesn't see it. If the game isn't completely lost, I try to pull myself together and look for new opportunities. Sadly gross blunders happen more often than I would like.

...sometimes I call 911 or the suicide hotline, but I usually just get a pizza and set it on fire. Sealed

Foolish at first.  But then I learn from my error and I'm ready to go!

Honestly, blunders are a big part of my game. It's much easier to concentrate when a full piece down, less clutter for me to think about.

I try to use the time machine to go back 1 minute

I punch a hole in the wall,

then apologize for punching a hole in the wall,

and then end up having to pay for the repairs.
