Originally posted by wormwood I don't usually mind much after I click resign. when it's over it's over. before that however, I'll rather put myself through hell than give up.
when I throw away a won game, I'm more likely to laugh at myself than anything else.
Originally posted by Dragon Fire Resigning lost games is good for the soul.
You feel much better once it has gone.
Yeah!
Logging in every day to play a losing game reminds me of when I had to go to court for two days in a row. I was the plaintive and the other person's lawyer grilled me on the stand for 6 hours the first day, only to have to go back the second one. I was so mentally drained that I just wanted to get it over with.

I don't know about you, but blowing a game can mess up my whole day! 😳 I mean, it's one thing to be outplayed, but it's an entirely different thing when you do something stupid and lose the game. Maybe it shouldn't be like that... maybe I shoul ...[text shortened]... obsessed with chess like the rest of you! 😲
Maybe I need a girlfriend. *sigh*
You are absolutely right! When I get outplayed, but played well, I feel happy, even though I lost. But blundering... it ruins the rest of the day! I try to get out of it with the "just a game" thing that you mentioned, but that never works!

Finally! Someone who understand my philosophy. 😵

How many people get depressed if you lose?
