I hate losing at chess, Its annoying and I get angry so much. Every time I make a move Its a blunder,they say to check before you make your move but Im just low on time and the pressure is too much. In general its annoying to lose at chess. Im having problems.

You play blitz, how do you get so low on time?

Also wtf you just started 3 days ago, if you just started playing chess 3 days ago and are 600 blitz that's pretty good(IMO for the avg player. I was 1200 when I started but that's irrelevant).

DO you got any tips to win? Given that the fact that your stats are really good.

nah just try to study more and at your level use more aggresive gambits or traps that will catch your opponents off guard

My tip is: don't play blitz and don't play bullet.

Just think about how happy you're making the other person when they win.

I agree, I'm trying to get into a headspace where I don't care as much. I quit playing live around July, after starting sometime around May, I got too tilted when I lost and would keep playing and lose sleeping time. I took a few months to learn, watch content and play bots. I don't know why I care, I'm not good, you can't be great at everything, and I have more than enough to do.

But no matter how much better I get at live chess, there will still be that point where it's close to 50/50. So what is the trick to having better acceptance?

I had a similar thing with grappling and a few other sports. Takes the fun out of it. I want to lose and just feel like it was a fun experience learning something.

Me too. I got engry when I lost with blunder.
That's OK.
Chess is one best way to learn about our emotion.

Just make sure each piece is covered and when you move make sure it's a threat which makes the opponent think, which gives you more time to think on your next move, also being able to spot tactics before they become checkmate is also quite handy, everyone tilts and loses form trick is when to take a break get some rest and try not play when hungry or distracted by TV or family etc

Don't do any of that. Start every game with a sacrificial attack. Only when you have no pieces left should you start thinking about defense or strategy.

technically at some point on here do you not reach a point where you are playing people pretty much people of the same rating? or is that just daily games?
