My friend beat me at chess, give me an excuse plz

Okay, first of all, let’s be clear: I did not lose because he’s better than me.

There were… external circumstances.

For example:

The lighting was slightly off.
My chair height was psychologically disadvantageous.
I was experimenting with a high-level positional concept (also known as “forgetting my queen was hanging”).
I was testing his tactical awareness by generously sacrificing material.
I’m pretty sure my mouse had input lag. Like, at least seconds. That’s basically a lifetime in bullet.
Also, I wasn’t warmed up. Elite grandmasters stretch before games. Did I stretch? No. Exactly.

And let’s not ignore the most important factor: I was distracted by the immense pressure of being clearly the stronger player.

So yes, technically the scoreboard says he won.

But morally? Strategically? Spiritually?

I’m still undefeated.

Holy chatgpt

Yes, maybe, but for the "First Word" prize, it's better to write something in the forum using GPT chat than incomprehensible characters.
