Have you had those times in tournaments, your opponent (or the board right next or close to you) had a kid super pumped up like: "I'm gonna win this tournament for sure!!" and then after they are losing they are like: "I don't care about chess anymore".

To be absolutely honest, I was once that kid (lol) but meh, if I lose over the board I either just walk away if my opponent was way too strong for me, but if they were close to my level or even weaker, I would show a bit of rage lol. 

This also sometimes happens online, but I disabled chat so...

Anyways, that's my little itty-bitty story, I wanna know if this is in places other than my area, because this is weird ._.

I just keep a neutral expression and save the crying for when I’m alone

Well I heard this little kid in the board next to me go "oh no" cause they lost a piece or something, though that may be off topic

Meh... 
I once versed @aa175 in a tournament and we were both 4/4, but he crushed me (as the pog  champ he is) and decided that I wouldn't get much lol

At that time I cried, but at the same time I was like: "Wait I play a horrible opening"

It's kinda like if you were playing basketball, and you missed every shot, but you still said it's better than not playing basketball. 

Thats pure determination
