Losing hurts more than winning is nice (Short).
It was the plan that failed. It worked to well with the opponents plan.
The rating system should ensure that you lose as many games as you win. So, get used to losing, or don't play.
Some believe that losing is a learning opportunity, however for me the lesson is invariably - slow down.

Anyone ? mm... For a chess professional, or a high-level agonist, I can understand: a professional chessplayer identifies himself with his playing skills, chess is his job. But for an amateur, it should just be a game. Ok, chess is competition, losing is very frustrating, but only up to a certain point. The purpose is to have fun ( if I'm not at least a master, what do I prove by playing chess ? ) . For me, just two minutes of frustration after a defeat, then... fun again. Anyway, if I lose playing well, the defeat doesn't weigh me down, honestly.

Losing is definitely a little pain for a while, but nowhere near the worst experience, unless of course it's your last game of a huge tourtnament, and if you win you get 1st place but if you lose, well, you stay 2d. That IS quite tough to experience and can last for days.
What I do hate about losing is not neccessarily the fact I've lost, but when I knew I had the chance the survive the game or even win it.
That's when it actually hurts the most, when you know you had it right there, knocking on the door, scratching the balls, yet didn't quite figure it out. All things considered, losing to me is the exact opposite feeling of winning, meaning it's just as bad to handle as it is to enjoy the satisfaction of a checkmate.

To lose is to accept to play, and to play is to accept losing.
The pleasure of winning is accepting to lose, if you never lost, what would be the point of playing?
This is because our mistakes have a risk of losing, that the game is exciting, like all other games, and that of life, too. To refuse to play is to refuse to live.
The game is our search for truth in a world of errors, as determined and finished be it, like the game of chess.
The error is part of our truth, in any case it allows to tend towards it.
A world without mistakes, and therefore a world without seeking truth specific to oneself, is a dead world.
Error is life, and its search for meaning is life itself.
The game of chess is a part of this life.
Perdre c'est accepter de jouer, et jouer c'est accepter de perdre.
Le plaisir de gagner, c'est accepter de perdre, si l'on ne perdait jamais, quel serait l'intérêt de jouer ?
C'est parce que nos erreurs comportent un risque de perdre, que le jeu est palpitant, comme tous les autres jeux, et celui de la vie, également. Refuser de jouer, c'est refuser de vivre.
Le jeu est notre recherche de vérité dans un monde d'erreurs, aussi déterminé et fini soit-il, comme le jeu d'échecs.
L'erreur fait partie de notre vérité, en tout cas elle permet de tendre vers elle.
Un monde sans erreurs, et donc un monde sans recherche de vérité propre à soi, est un monde mort.
L'erreur c'est la vie, et sa recherche de sens c'est la vie même.
Le jeu d'échecs c'est une partie de cette vie.
Ainsi soit-il.
