Do you feel good when you win at a chess game?

I feel winning makes wasting all that time playing chess feel worth it because you accomplished something by beating your opponent.

do you like it when you hear your opponent whining when he/she loses ?

I feel good!!  Intellectually, of course.

If you don't, you are a psychopath.

As you all well know I am simply the greatest chess player ever. So I really get no joy when I win. However when I lose, I am simply amazed and thrilled by at the human intellect which could muster up a win against me, the greatest chess player ever.

it is always nice to win but I am okay with a draw or loss too if I know I couldn't have done better :)

It feels great. It gives me a "buzz" that I can't quite describe. If my opponent whines, I ignore it. Chess can be a very emotional game sometimes.

I'm fine with a draw as long as I felt that I played well. Long fought draws can be satisfying too - both players can walk away happy knowing that they were evenly matched.

If I lose, I analyse the game and try to figure out where I went wrong, and how I can improve for next time. I never feel like I have wasted my time playing chess. I enjoy it too much to think that.

If I feel like I made no major mistakes or blunders, then I am happy with any outcome. However if I feel I didn't play to the best of my ability, I am not satisfied even with a win.

I feel good partly because I beat my opponent and partly because of both my lack of mistakes and my creativity.  My favorite personal game is one where I blundered. dropped a Rook early, but threw every piece I had at the enemy King before my opponent could get organized and won.  My demonstration of creativity, of a fearless "win or die" attitude is what makes me love that game, not my opponent's failure or my early-in-the-game blunder.

Winning is rewarding losing is learning

I will only find joy in winning once I start beating the likes of Carlsen, MVL, Caruana, So and Nakamura. Any other wins will just be another boring games....

More happier than losing obviously.

If you do not become happy if you win, you are strange.

I am not always sad when I'm lost, but I am treating it as a lesson. I become sad when I lose while I am winning.

I really don't mind losing to a higher rated player as long as I play well, but I hate losing to a far lower rated one, which happens way too often because of my positional/non-tactical style....lots of players that just keep mindlessly attacking and hoping for a blunder win at this game....
