That happens. Then it happens some more. Then you swear up and down it's not worth the humiliation, so you decide to quit. That's when you discover you're an addict and that getting a whooping is part of the deal. Sort of like having to sell yourself to get your crack cocaine fix.

Edit - you have only played and lost one.

Edit two - then some jackass replies to your post in the forums and makes it all worse.

Edit three - Or you could do what Zebano is about to tell you. Damn, I'm psychic.

But I heard they make a ointment for that.

If it's any consolation I know how you feel. That's what makes this game so great 🙄

You have a winning (well win streak) followed by a massive losing streak, I'm still waiting to finish my losing streak.

Hey, I may have only lost one *so far*, but think positively. I have several games running that look very promising for the opposition :-D

Also, thanks to Zebano for pointing me that site. Very interesting.

Also when your provisional rating settles down a bit you will be able to pick opponents which are around your playing strength.
