When I almost win a tournament by defeating a strong player, then blunder it to a draw, reject his draw offer, and then blunder it to a loss

Yes this happened once with me, I almost cried

I don't think there is some "raging thing" playing chess. About myself, I'm very disturbing by the possibility to have a make a move having less than 2 minutes time to decide it, because I hate the fact to take a blunder (and hate the same if my opponent take a blunder playing against me). Because my interest into playing chess is the beauty that a good-played game very often have. My most great desire playing chess is not to win, but to be able to create (together with my opponent, of course!) a game that can be beautiful to see when analysed. If I have to decide what I really hate in chess, I admit that I really hate any blunder (non simply my blunders, but ALL blunders, no matter who take its), because a blunder really damage any beautiful game.

This is a draw because white's king has no legal squares to move to, but it is not being attacked by a piece either, so it's not checkmate. This is called stalemate, which is a draw. To win, you must checkmate the king and to do that, you have to be attacking the king. You can read more about stalemate here.

For me, it's losing a game that I'm winning on the board, but completely blunder the win because I overthink things and blunder in low time. This happens very often, and I just can't seem to fix it for some reason.

Losing on time, when you have thrashed the person, you are one move away from check mate and you complain about it and some know it all says, well you should select longer time controls. I despise people like that.

I hate this so much. I want to attack my opponents but I can't do it without letting their piece infiltrate and check me to win all of my pieces.

#30 you should have played rook to f3 for the checkmate

ChessKy538

Having mate in 1 but losing on time right before.

evan_chess_player12

realizing you blundered checkmate in a daily game, and your opponent doesn't make their move for a couple of days, so you just have to wait for so long hoping that they don't see it, then they finally make their move and checkmate you. not only did you lose, but you had to sit through days of pain hoping your opponent didn't see the mate.

LordHunkyhair3

Or when you're playing a daily game and you thought you were close to checkmate, but you'd overlooked one gap and your opponent got checkmate first. Then you're wondering why your opponent hasn't moved, when the game is really over and sitting in the game archive already, and when you notice it finally you're like "howww?!?!?!"

My inability to play well in blitz and bullet... I'm decent in slow time controls, but in blitz I cannot pass 1200 because I'm nervous.

For each game on chess.com, we only get 8 elo!!! This is why I'm starting to play more on lichess...
