@booger saidLosing is how we learn our limits. One who never loses, or never admits he loses, comes to think he’s invincible, infallible, immortal. It just ain’t so. It’s a lesson some people never learn (Donald Trump springs to mind). So take a lesson from Capablanca, who lost something like 27 games during his professional career: “I learned more from the games I lost than from those I won.”
The Inevitable Loss...
Why is life like that?
I reckon it's lack of experience in those situations.
Played a 10 vs 10 match and we lost 8-2.
I had the win but time trouble rattled me and I blundered.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWheelbarrow race, can't remember the year... We had it won, other kid choked and we finished 3rd.
For me, egg and spoon race, 1983.
Still bitter... My one chance of athletic glory.
@the-gravedigger saidThe part that solves chess problems seems to be in great working order. 🙂
Told you my brain was shot 😀
