Do you feel you play chess better when you're sad?

Unfortunately, I do.

I think you're a very bad chess player who has no future
( hope this helps you play better)

Just kidding by the way

@puzzlesandpuzzles you're right but I didn't say I play better when I feel frustrated ;)

@tourdivoire When I'm sad I play like a drunkard, but when I'm not sad I also play like a drunkard.

@kaissa44
I feel that

What about when you're drunk?

@tourdivoire I play best when I have been CONSISTENTLY studying chess over the past week, when I am not tired, and when I have not been playing a huge amount. Since I do lots of chess, this basically means that I play terribly towards the end of a day since I have played like 200 games by then. Early afternoon I play best, with often 2200-2300 performance.
Then later it goes down under 2k which hurts, rating and otherwise.

So stop playing so much.

@ChessMathNerd but that doesn't answer the question. Do you play better when sad (or so you think) or not?
I personally will lose a lot more if sad. I will lose five to one against similar-level players when I am down, and recovery takes its dear sweet time when it comes to me.

@MathWizKid It depends. If I am sad about losing a lot, I will lose more, but when I win it is crushing, since I will crush people with a vengeance. If sad about something else, I am not playing chess, I am fixing the problem.
