They say you can apply a lot of the lessons you learn in chess to real life. I think this one is no exception. You could be a person who does everything right. Never smoke, never drink, eat healthy and live an active life, and be in tip-top physical condition. Still, it just takes one mistake, one careless error of judgement, and you could be dead. Sorry to be so morbid, but I felt it the best way to drive the point home. Take the lessons that your chess games offer you, learn from them, and move on.

Lost your words?
Lost your anger?
Ha..ha..
I know what makes you not to be one of the great player:
Attitude and acception, whether you win, lose or draw in a game.
To learn from a defeat and to get better is by accepting and admitting that you are defeated.
No defeat feels good, no matter how it was before.
But it feels even better when you arise from it and achieve draw or win after learn from the mistakes you have done.
No need to argue furthermore. Just admitted it's true.

I'm sorry, but I learn crapo from such games, people. If my opponent was way superior and beat me off a beautiful combination or something, I would learn a lot, but a lot of my losses are off opponents playing like crap and then capitalizing on a stupid mistake I make. They win because of me, rather then because of them. I learn nothing in such cases, other then a reminder I am mentally disabled and my head at times wonders. . .

Anyways, the game is over, I lost, the extra rook was simply too powerful because I lost control of the only open file in the game that I did have greater firm control of beforehand until I blundered. Very predictable, easy routine win after that blunder, not much could of been done, effortless win for white.

I learn nothing in such cases.
You have a history of blundering away won games so you need to develop a system that you can follow when doing a final check on moves in won positions. i.e., take "you" out of the loop when doing the final check.
Probably something really simple like
1) will any peice be enprise after this move?
2) will my opponent have any check after this move?
will eliminate the majority of all blunders...
Originally posted by mateuloseI cannot quickly express how frustrating I have found your comments, but this pretty much says it all. If you can't learn anything from the games you lose by your own stupid mistakes, then that explains why you lose so many in this way. Every player on this site makes mistakes and your failure to credit your opponent's ability to make less important bluders than yourself and to not let you off the hook for yours is frankly rude. I've thrown away plenty of games that I feel I should have done better in through bad decisions, but that is why my opponent played better than me during the game (that and they are often more skilled than me anyway!) one of the first ways to improve your game is to cut out the simple blunders.

[b]WELL? WHAT DO YOU SAY, Mateulose?
Isn't that aggression a little excessive?[/b]
He might be better in 99% of the game. But in the final decisissive 1% of the game, his opponent was better than him. It's all that matter.
No game is decided to be over until it's over, either by checkmate, draw, or time expense.
Mateulose should admit it. No further question required other than learning from such mistake.
I'm sorry, but it's reality. That's why chess is so great. Chess doesn't teach you to escape from reality. Chess teach you to deal with it. Either you lose, win, or draw.
DEAL WITH IT.

Originally posted by mateuloseYou know, I've been at a loss as to what kind of responses you've been looking for, ever since you opened this thread. You reject the notion that it's possible for you to learn something from games where you blunder, and you continually deride your opponenet for "playing like crap", which only diminishes your accomplishment in achieving a superior position in the first place. Do you want us to all nod our heads in agreement, that your opponent played like crap and should never have won the game? Do you want us to act appalled that your opponent actually took the win, instead of chivalrously offering you a draw?

And now that the game has ended, I can tell you what I believe another of your problems is. When you do blunder, you become so desponent that you lose all hope, and resign yourself to the fact that you'll lose long before the game is over. I can sense it in just about every comment you've made, including the one you made after the game is over. "The extra rook was simply too powerful...." Your opponenet never had an "extra" rook. He had a rook in exchange for you having a knight. You never stood a chance after the blunder because you never asked yourself what was still good about your position. Your c4 knight was still a very fine piece, and you could have made it even more secure by playing your other knight from c7 to a8 to b6. I'm not saying this will necessarily save you from defeat, but my point is that nothing positive can ever happen if you don't have a positive attitude.

A possitive attitude. Feel the game.

Don't believe any word mateulose says,see the thread''Disclaimer'' in the general forum,and the ''Russ'' in the tournament forum.
He lied ,he lied and lied,he's a rich spoilt kid,no mental disabilities,just too much time in his hands.
If anyone cares to read the above threads will understand why I say this:I've been fooled like a kid by this guy and was almost to make kick out from the site a guy who did nothing.
I encourage everyone to not play or reply to mateulose,he can use your words against you in a very sad way.
