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.
You feel much better once it has gone.

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.
Edit: God, I hate lawyers! ðŸ˜

As I've stated before a person once said, "Show me a person who doesn't mind losing and I'll show you a loser."
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*
