Isn't it pathetic that this game can determine my whole mood for for a day?

I can have a great day with a couple / few wins
Few losses and I'm literally questioning my whole existence lol
Such a rollercoaster.

You never lose, you either win or you learn

I learn **** all from a one in a billion trillion positions that'll never see again xxx

If a game can determine your entire mood for a day, then the game isn't the problem.

That said, if the particular game means a lot to you, above statement of course would not apply.

If you think your everyday games mean a lot to you, yet can say what you said in #4, are you sure it actually means a lot?

have you ever tried fishing? it is nice

Consider what happened in the

25+15 game (~4 hours ago) after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d3 h6 4 Be2 Nf6 5 h3 d5 6 exd5 Nxd5 7 O-O Be6 8 c4 Nf6 9 Be3 Qc8 10 Nh2 Bd6 11 Ng4 Nxg4 12 Bxg4 h5 13 Bxe6 Qxe6 14 Nc3 O-O-O 15 Ne4 Be7 16 Qe2 g5 17 Nxg5 Bxg5 18 Bxg5 Rdg8 19 h4 Nd4 20 Qe4 f5 21 Qd5. Don't you think that the experience from 21...Qg6 22 Qxe5 Nf3+ 23 gxf3 Qc6 24 Qxf5+ could teach you to be a little more cautious about sacrificing a knight and 2 pawns?
By the way, you played your first 21 moves at an average rate that would have made sense if you had expected the game to last for 123 moves.

#1: If your mood for an entire day is consistently negatively impacted by a game, then you might have emotional management issues. Meditation, medication, and physical exercise can help.

#2: Is that supposed to be directed at my comment in that thread?
