rage stories

:P

hahahahah i throw my phone or punch the screen of the phone. And punch the wall. hahaah

then i stop playing... and try to calm down.... but it takes a while.....

If i lose one game..... its fine. 2 games in a row... i feel it boiling in my chest.... 3 games....

hell breaks lose hahahahah

but it only happens when i play bullet or blitz..... never on rapid or daily.

Mostly because time runs out all the time hahahaha

also.... when i tell myself: dont move that piece.... you lose if you move it....

then i look around for another move... and 30 sec later... i still make that move .... then....

i played 1500 blitz matches.

i lost 360 on time hahahahah

so every 4 game is rage mode

ive made someone hit the table in an otb game

I dont have rage attacks, I dont get upset or angry when i lose. But i might get angry at some people especially when they make a bad move then start stalling.. its like blaming me for their own mistake.

And some smartpants moves may make me angry, i feel like "how dare?" actually those moves are not solid and one can easily punish them, so thats why i get angry if i lose to those moves.. i actually get mad at myself there..

But i never throw my phone at wall or anything, it's for primitive people, why would i damage my own property, i paid it price myself.. by working. that would be allowing someone to harm me indirectly.

Anger is a natural emotion by the way, and it should be expressed like any other emotions, no shame on that.

But losing self-control is big sign of a problem, and if not treated correctly if may become worse, and turn into a character.

you might wanna check "anger management" on the internet. see how serious problem it is

Eu fico de boa quando perco, mas comemoro bastante quando ganho

I never really get angry. The only situation I get mad is when I try to make a move, and chess.com decides that I tapped a different spot on the board, and it moves my piece there. If this costs me the game, I am livid lol. It happened for the second time this week today, and I immediately turned on "confirm each move" because the pain of throwing away a 15|10, or 30-minute game is too much, lol.

Online speed chess is like a drug. I've told myself too many times "just one game." I've had plenty of losing streaks—My longest losing streak is probably close to 20 games. It affected my wellbeing and now I have to be very careful if playing online blitz. For anyone experiencing rage after a loss there is definitely underlying issues that need to be addressed.

I'm glad to know there's others in the chess community who've experienced something similar. Good luck with your chess, but more importantly, get the help you need to stop the insanity of online chess rage.

30+ years ago in a weekend otb tournament where the boards are side by side a player on board 2 made a game ending mistake, in frustration he took the piece he had in his hand and threw it down on the board, unfortunately it bounced on board 1 completely disrupting that game, player on game 1 got up and punched the guy that threw down the piece, it all happened so fast no one knew what happened, we had one player standing over another player fist clinched ready to hit him again

It isn't a game of chess I speak of, but my school just adopted a policy where they returned the doors to the restrooms so that people could be locked out of them. Since people were gathering in the tens to vape in the bathrooms, the school decided to close all but one restroom, on the far end of the building, the longest to reach unless you are in music or gym class. There is also now a teacher posted in that restroom to supervise everyone inside. Other restrooms might occasionally be opened as long as another teacher goes into that one to supervise everyone. I don't see why this is necessary; it's making me late to class because I have to cross the entire building twice to use the restroom during transitions, not to mention it feels like an invasion of privacy.

It's taken me a year to have a healthy relationship with chess and not rage so much too.
