Is this the part where we bow down to your greatness?
Why are people so unhappy playing chess?
Sort:
Because they are playing for the wrong reasons.
I played one jerk my first day, I just disabled chat after that. I'm here to play not chit chat during games.
"Is this the part where we bow down to your greatness?"
Um, in case you were wondering the "awesome 1600 rating" thing was sarcasm. Presumably if I cheated I could have some huge rating because my computer is much better than that.
Oh brother!
Playing chess is a socially acceptable way for unhappy people to get rid of their anxiety.
Well I can kinda understand why people would feel inclined to surrender if everything is horrible and they don't think they can ever turn it around, so it's just a slow death basically.. Of course it might be possible anyway, so would be best to hang around. Obviously there's no reason to start hating because you're losing though, that would be poor sportsmanship!
They have big egos. They think that rating measures intelligence, so they like to humiliate their opponents and behave in a very childish way either when winning or losing.

Maybe they are happy disconecting, swearing, and accusing. Nothing wrong with that :-)
It's really amazing how many people swear at me, disconnect in losing positions, accuse me an my awesome 1600 rating of cheating, etc, etc.. If you don't like playing chess, maybe you shouldn't play chess..
When I get angry or frustrated playing a losing game of chess, which is all the time, I resign. Then I force shutdown the computer. Then I go on my phone, and list my computer for sale on ebay. I always have a big red apple sitting on my desk, so when I come to the inevitable loss, I can try to fit as much of it as I can into my mouth and rip right through the core with one massive bite. Then I go downstairs and rage grind an extra pulpy orange juice on a citrus reamer. Once I chug that down, I burn out my sugar rush of orange juice and apple by doing as many pushups as I can. That pumps up my muscles so I can go outside and smash a coconut on the ground. Then I google new and exciting recipes for cooking with coconut. I'm trying to eat healthier these days.
