Do you get frustrated when you lose?

the nsa is monitoring this thread, and using your own smartphones to hear, see, and pin point you. then they will come for you, or merely watch, biding their time. please keep all your rants to yourselves. if you spill the beans, you'll regret it later. trust me, i no of what i speak. ignore me at your peril. don't say i didn't warn you.
Before yes, but now not so much because games I play are not important. I am just having fun.
A lack of self-control will hinder your chess development for sure.
@MrAverage that's not true. If you're playing higher-rated opponents that's good. You can improve after a game of chess even if you lose every single one.
@XxChessGuruXx I completely agree with you! I was saying that losing to 50% of people "at the same level" is bad because you're not showing improvement. Read the person's comment I replied to, and it will make more sense.
Don't fear to loose. The great hero Michail Tal teached us that. It is not so much the loss itself hurts me a little. If I play a really bad move i get really annoyed with me. It don't eases my pain if my opponent blunders himself. I have a little Reputation in getting absoltuly unearned victories. Not proud of it, sometimes funny, but it don't offers satisfication.
If i play without any big errors and a lower rated opponent manages in spite of it not to loose - then i am fine with the game. It is not illegal for lower rated opponents to play a good game (if it is illegal then i trust in Lichess ;-) ) .

Stupid errors i play disturbing me. Often i am not able to stop while playing online. Then i play variants instaed. I play often variants, so... (.. but sometimes i Play variants just for fun with no hard feelings ;-) )
