Bad enough to quit?

If you were playing black and I told you white had a rating of 900, would you quit chess after this game? Or would you make excuses like "well it was bound to happen sometime" or something along those lines?

Personally I wouldn't even show that game, I'd just deny it ever happened and deny ever picking up chess. But that's just me, so...

No, in chess embarrassing games are inevitable.

Here's a good video:

@seanysean I'm sorry but distracted or not, he really can't call himself a master after that.

@Jackurokawa yes he can, id bet every chess player has fallen for this at least once, i know i have, my brother tries this everytime we play and gets snuffed out and every time he thinks its a great opening because in his words "i had mate in one threat" thank god i never lost to him that way

@Darksouls That's like saying a martial arts master can still be considered so after getting beaten up by a child. If a chess master can fall for this then it just makes it look like they give the title away.

@Jackurokawa no they are two different things, you cant make that comparison. Like if you beat a chess master it doesn't make you a chess master or even chess master level playing wise. A lack in judgement in one game doesn't make his skill any less, its a cheap opening , if your looking for cheap games play it, you wont learn much playing that way

@Darksouls If it's a cheap win without much effort then it makes it worse for the 'master', as does making excuses

So is that loss bad or enough to consider quitting or not?

No matter how bad a loss is, why quit?
