How mad do you get when you lose?

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being happy and 10 being absolutely raging. Specifically on chess.com.

Depends. 0 when I lose to someone good, 10 when I lose to a 1000-, 4 when I lose to you, Ojas, or Eric, 12 when I lose to my parents.

The scale doesn't apply. If I lose, I don't get mad. Disappointed maybe.

I'd say I'm around a 3.

I don't get mad. I'm a patient guy, for the most part. I might get a little annoyed if I lost because of a very obvious mistake that I shouldn't be making at this level, but I don't get mad. I've also found that I don't tilt very often (if at all), which supports my decision more.

I would say 3, when I lose it means my opponent played better and it’s a skill issue

Depends on a number of factors, like is there construction noise going on outside, door bell ringing, pc drivers have bugs, etc. If I played well vs an opponent who also played well,. then a score of one. If I played poorly making elementary errors, then a score of three.

If you want to enjoy chess you need to avoid anger and frustration when you lose. Enjoy the win and see if your opponent can teach you some tactic like taking your queen but sacrificing a bishop. Something like this...

Someone did this to me when I played the French.. Let's see if I can remember it...

It went something like that.

Depends. Could be a 3, but other times, specifically during tilt could be 100000. But I'm controlling myself more.

If I lose to lag it's a 10! It's the literal worst thing that can happen to me!!!
