Played my first tournament ever here, played terrible, I feel like its time to quit chess.😒

I felt like I should've done better, now I wonder did I waste my time with this game??

Years playing can't even play decently... Feels horrible......

Am assuming you played blitz. Try playing Rapid and actually using what you learned in a less pressured environment. I've only played 2 blitz games here and at my current style of playing didn’t enjoy the time pressure.

Played rapid won only 4 or 5 out of 9 total games....

In a tournament that is actually quite good. Do you get deeply emotionally upset if you lose? That's not very poggers, take a break if so.

No

no

NOOOOOOOO

I have been playing for 20+ years and still play like trash but I dont bother

Hey, don't give up just yet! It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. I agree with the suggestion to try rapid games and focus on applying what you've learned. It's all about finding what works for you and enjoying the process. Keep at it!

Yes, I do if I can't win whats the point? I have respect for those who out play me its just I get flaming angry at my own stupidity. Nothing else in life has ever caused me to feel like this.

you played better then most people dont ever give up (:

I was quite happy playing bots and coach. When I tried playing people my stress level went through roof - probably adrenaline. Had one good run, then a bad run and got depressed. I went back to playing bots and coach. It's a more peaceful life :-)

G'day. I actually went through something similar. I ended up playing the 3 day a move game, and playing online anonymously where it flipped that switch where pressure came from playing people with a named account. After a while, realised my game was solid enough to just go for it playing back under an account.
