is when my opponent makes a good move.

That is all.


I hate it when I make a bad move.

Good moves by my opponent don't really bother me.

The thing I hate most is when I haven't forseen the good move of my opponent.


i hate building up a good position after 30 moves and seeing it fall down like a house of
cards because of a single blunder.

... and that is at the heart of chess!

I enjoy my opponent plying great moves; I enjoy them more when I have foreseen them; I'm in heaven when I have a riposte!

Also hate myself for attempting to force a position when

I have neither momentum nor any other right to do so.

This basically sums it up. Of course, since I hate this, you'd think I would spend more time trying to eradicate these blunders from my game.

I hate getting things forked by a pawn. I'm getting better at avoiding it now, but I sure used to get pawn-forked a lot.

Backward knight moves- unless it's my knight.

If your opponent makes a good move... make a better one.
