1. If you lose, here are the following ways you will not lose for future games. 2. First, Go back and see the game (No Game Review) and see your blunder, missed tactic, or mistaken moves in it. 3. If you see a checkmate, remember to make a BRILLIANT move to checkmate the opponent. 4. If, you give up, remember, NEVER GIVE UP! Those who give up become failures. 5. Imagine You are in a race, And you lost, Never give up until you become First. 6. Don't say your a loser, I respect all of you. 7. The second line I said, 'missed tactic' right? See the tactic and get the opportunity to tactically checkmate your opponent. 8. The Following tactics are - 1. Pin, 2. Fork (Any piece), 3. Back Rank checkmate, 4. Smothered Mate, 5. Decoying, 6. Deflection, 7. Zwischenzug (The Intermediate Move), 8. Double Check, 9. Discovered Check, 10. Skewer Attack, 11. Discovered Attack, 12. X-ray Attack, 13. Destroying/Removing the Defender, 14. Trapped Piece (Like #4), 15/Last. Overloaded Piece.

There's this cool thing called a line feed character. It would really help make this read better.

Defending is a skill on its own but unless you have a way out, resign. Consult a stronger player (500+ ELO above you), if you can't quite figure out what your mistake was or else you will run into strong underfitting when analyzing your games, which will lead to a local minimum in your learning curve and therefore a plateau (you won't improve).

OP has made a good effort with his list. However, I disagree with points (2) and (4). There is no need to reinvent the wheel, chess engines are an invaluable tool for game review, the challenge is in knowing when to disregard their chess analysis. A player needs to consider their own playing strength in relation to engine analysis---one shouldn't be interested in 10-ply tactical misses or subtle positional errors when they are dropping pieces for free, losing to over-loading tactics or missing mate in 2. Look to identify and correct errors that are common for your playing strength. Next, in chess and in real life know when to give up, that's a vastly underappreciated skill. Sometimes "victory" is not worth the cost, cultivate the skill of walking away.
