Why chess gives you depression

That's normal if you gain elon after a good tilt usually your getting better

bro problem is that i lose to noobs coz i play worse than them

"(...) towards chess, we felt an utter disgust and loathing, it was nothing but an abomination, polluting the clean environment."

(modified a quote by Charles Lightoller)

Today I played more blitz and went down to 2413 from 2434

Last 7 days I lost 35 points, even though the 5 days before today and yesterday I was gaining rating

Chess sometimes feels like nonsense

as a new account i lost 200 points in one game

You also gain a lot when u wn

But losing to noobs and dummies of 2300 and 2200 and 2100 for two days and 15 games straight

I am in wretched spirits after every blunder. I believe that chess is not as the average people imagine it, with a handshake and smiles; it is very serious, very grim.

Embrace the losses, instead of getting upset about them. Those losses exist for a reason: they're there to show you where your weaknesses are, so you can identify them and scrub them away.

Think of them like blips on a radar screen - they're helping you find your targets ... weaknesses in your play that you can seek and destroy.

good analogy

lol bump.

never played otb

you bumped this to say... that?

Guys the thing is that u are playing a game in which u will lose 200 elo if u lose

But then ur oppenent is a cheater😔🥹

Actually me a 700 elo player went into 500 elo(exact elo)

Then I finally started winning and I was in 596 elo

But I again lost 3 games. I tried,tried

I thought that I will never get to my goal and made a promise that if I don't win and get to 600 elo today I will close my account

Luckily that promise worked !!!

And now I am still working to get to 700 elo

And I am proud to say that I learnt from my mistakes

I can confirm that chess has given me depression

I stopped playing for about 4 months, and then my rating went from 900 to 400. I'm gonna go play BTD6😭

Lol so sad but don't give up same situation happened to me

Yeah

yes

i play chess for fun i dont care about elo or rating well
do you guys talk when a match is going onn??
