How mad do you get when you lose?

Depends on who I lose TO, and to a lesser extent HOW I lose. But the anger's nearly always directed at myself instead of the opponent.

If the opponent's showoffy or smug, I get furious at myself for validating it by giving them another win. 8 or 9.

If I lose by a decisive blunder so obvious that even I can see it, 7.

Most of the time, though, if it's a normal loss, it's about a 3 or 4, mild annoyance. Maybe reaching 6 if the loss was particularly slow and agonizing.

Though I have anger issues, I think the only time I can legitimately say I reached a 10 is when I lost to someone with a racial slur in their username in a much smaller place (I don't know why they weren't banned). That game felt unreasonably high-stakes, like I had a duty to win that one, and I blew it.

1 because it's interesting to see how I got beat so that I can beat someone else the same way😈

Not at all. It can be disappointing or disconcerting but never anger inducing.

If your response if more than 3/10, seek professional help.

If we both played a good game then 0, if I made a very simple/easy to see error, then 3.

Which is why OTB is so much better. On the rare occasion we get "Online speed chess players" that show up at a OTB tournaments and pull in person what they pull online. They are kicked out and you never see them again. Some just lack the emotional maturity to play OTB. Which is a shame because its such a great experience.

Not very. There's more to life than a chess game.

Depends on how I lose. Usually like 2, but sometimes like 5.
