How to lose a game the best way...

Submitted by warwind on Sat, 10/20/2007 at 10:25pm.

Losing a game of chess can be very challenging. Winning a game can give you a nice feeling, It increases morale,even your confidence. But what about if you lose? Its the other way around ...and if you're not careful you'll end up losing again....

So what do you think is the best way to lose a game? For me, the best way is to handle it with a smile. Then analyze the game and find out how to correct the mistake. Then forget about it, have a nice meal and a good sleep. Simple isnt it? Yet some good players i knew find it hard to forgive themselves for the bad move they made two thousand years ago! tragic yet true..Please share your comments...

Interesting points.

To be quite honest, chess is just a game like any other, and as always, certain people will be good at it and others not so good. As Homer Simpson once said, no matter how good you are at something, there's always someone else out there who's better, so don't even try in the first place.

Maybe the end sentiment is not so true, but there is a kernel of truth in the rest, with the basic message being that if you want to try something out, there are times when you won't succeed, so you have to be prepared for that. If you're not, then perhaps you shouldn't have tried in the 1st place.

Finally, if losing a game of chess really, really gets you down, I suggest that the problem is not with your chess, but rather with other aspects of your life. If they are so devoid of meaning over the mere loss of a game of chess, then perhaps some time should be spent arranging matters in other areas.

I could go on and on and on, but that's the basic gist of my point.

Ciao for now.
