But composing nice chess poem, makes you an ________ (put suitable word, I can't find it 😛)
While arranging a range over Blorange,
A ranger enraged took my orange,
But my lid did not flip,
With my stiff upper lip,
I strode onwards and did not moan or whinge.

Actually, I don't know if the terms "flip your lid" or "whinge" are in the American lexicon. Whinging is basically the same as whining. To flip your lid is to lose ones temper.
And I'm sorry it's still not about chess!

by Allen Ginsberg
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat
up smoking in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities
contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and
saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war,
who were expelled from the academies for crazy &
publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull,
etc.
