Max (playing chess): Don't tell me I just lost my queen.

99: Max, you just lost your queen.

Max: 99, I asked you not to tell me that!

My common theme is realizing that the move I thought I had really thought about was really not so good.  This happens an instant after I click submit.

ATTACK! If you're losing ATTACK! If your opponent if steam-rolling you and about to win STILL ATTACK! Defence is for keeping your cool. If you want your win and bragging rights ATTACK!

It's not losing.  It's just that your king isn't a fast enough runner.
