Being crushed is the worst useful reward you could get. You have to remember that 1. chess skill is all relative (there's always someone better or worse than you by big and small amounts) and 2. even if you did actually suck (whatever that means) it's not like that would matter. At least you know it's called a knight and not a horse (right?)!
But yeah, the worse you get crushed the more there is to learn from. You need to look at every loss objectively (The really hard part. I always used to make excuses for blunders, and they may make sense, but the blunder is still a blunder and the mistake needs to be learned from, not just pushed to the side), try to see where you went wrong (and find the right ideas best you can), and what in your mind made you do that, and check with a computer. As of late I'm actually considering following this advice. I think of chess in many different ways. There's the fight in chess that can turn losses into wins and vice versa, despite the reality of the position. And there's also the quest to see what the correct ideas are and not care about "what you actually played", as if you understand what was going on then the ability to find the right moves in future games will come naturally.



I will play you in 3 0 if you want Musikamole, what's the point in having a relatively high rating if I can't easily beat players of your rating?
However, I do think that the odds on chess.com are highly skewed in favour of the lower rated player when the ratings difference are over 300 or 400 points.... so don't expect to play me over and over.

Geez!!
I've never played 3/0 and gave up 5/0 a few months back. I would just be pushing wood, playing blind at 3/0. The fastest I can play is 10/0 and deliver some resistance. I'll post my first three crushing experiences at 10/0 so you know what kind of game I have.
