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
lowerechess (or any competition) is absolutely unacceptable?
lower self worth??? No way
DaBabysBurner... more like losing 8 out 9 games bro, lol.
bruv I can understand getting upset over a few lost games (I literally just lost about a weeks worth of rating in an hour today) but I feel as if you're being a bit premature with the decision to quit. You're already way above the level of an average chess player, and I'm sure you can get better with a bit of practice. Chess is a hard game to improve at, but there are certainly lots of benefits of being able to play chess, and playing it well
Just my two cents
You can message me for help if you decide not to quit
Anyway I can see by your rating that you're good at chess. Good for you. I think it's a stupid game and a waste of time. It's not about character, it's about finding what you're good at and what you're not. I"m not good at chess. Peace

One of my favorite quotes is by Winston Churchill:
"One of the keys to ultimate success is the ability to go from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
Losing does suck, and I am not good by any means I even posted trying to break 1000, and while on the thread I broke 900 in the wrong direction, but now I am staying focused and closer to Magnus that I was two weeks ago haha
Ideally, one would win the same amount of games as they lose, except for people that are climbing/falling down the rating later and the people at the very top and the bottom.
Generally, I just leave and whine and moan. My friend recently outplayed me and I decided to leave while yelling '3-0', saying basically the game didn't count.
balls strong and willed hard you will persist as the wind does and repitition the simple remedy of a loss to courage up and stand stronger then ever before but to do in order this, you must master the art of winning to make sure you lose and do not get sad about winning to lose. This advice good english hope you is day good very good lose win yes push. (sorry english is too good) (good) (yes) (losing is win lose winn losing)

I think we've found the problem. Your basic premise is faulty.
