When losing a game of chess, one is forced to accept the fact that he is less intelligent and has a lower self-worth than his opponent. How do others deal with the fact that losing in chess (or any competition) is absolutely unacceptable?
You don't have to accept any such thing.

Drinking a pint or two of human blood usually settles me right down after losing.
you must self destruct. there is no other option.

I like to get the old AK47 out and go into the woods...............
Eat a package of oreos, and dont brush. Smile a lot!
pack your stuff and get out.
stew over it for days, chew your fingernails down to the bone, pull out clumps of hair, grind your teeth. then you'll feel better

Losing only means there is a hole in your game. So now you know what to work on. And you keep going until you get rid of as many "holes" in your game as you possibly can. It is an on-going process. That is all that it is and no need to make it more than what it really is.
