When was the last time you cried after losing a chess game?

Haven"t cried yet ! but i did burst out singing :Don"t cry 4 me Argentina, after losing a game when so far in front i felt sorry for the expected victim;;;;

What about an appendage?  A loved one?

Or both with one shot?

Literally or figuratively? Literally never, but figuratively blunders in otherwise won games can lead to a little whining.

Its just a GAME! Dont get too wrapped up about it!

What if losing this game:

(For those unfamiliar, in "The Seventh Seal", a knight, in the process of losing his faith in God in the aftermath of the Crusades, plays a game of chess against Death, with accordingly high stakes)

About 5 minutes ago. And before that, 10 minutes ago, and then 15 minutes ago, and then 20 minutes ago......

I have been in a pretty bad slump the last 2 weeks.

But aren't you supposed to lose?  Darn, I've been doing it wrong all this time?

>>> About 5 minutes ago. And before that, 10 minutes ago, and then 15 minutes ago, and then 20 minutes ago......

Thank you, ivanx00... That sounded real... I felt many times like crying, but the last time I actually cried after losing a chess game was when I was about 8.... 3 decades seem to make a big difference.

If crying means punching the wall with your fist, throwing your mouse out the window, punching your monitor, or typing some inappropriate message to your opponent, then I have had my share of crying.

TEARS OF RAGE

fyy0r: Monkeys have funny ways of showing dissatifaction with life.

Cry? Really? With so many problems in life, I don't understand why anyone would cry or even get mad over a chess or any game. Frustrated..sure but to punch something and break it? You need to go to Chess Anger Management or start a forum for one:)

                                                 NEVER!

      BUT I CRIED WHEN I LOST MY FIRST GAME OF LOVE

Final game on a national school-age tourny, rated game.  Lost to Scholar's Mate.

About 20 years ago.

You are hindering your development if you cry over lost games. You want to win too badly if you cry after a loss. You need to work on your mental game.

CRYING ???  For pete sake GROW - UP people , the adult reaction after a long tough struggle on the chess battlefield on which you have been trounced by your more skilled opponent , congradulate them exit the tournament hall into the Real- World  now you can start Crying !! LOL     

I have been trying to stop getting so upset about losing and blundering, but now listining to you guys, I feel much better. I am really quite controlled.
