Just one of those days

Just had one of those days that make you want to quit chess. Played horribly and let my opponent just slap me around like I was his you know what for two whole games. Did I mention he was 200 points lower than me? Yeah, I suck. No soup for you!!

I sure have considered throwing up my arms in disgust and quitting(as I complain about here).

Kramnik's recent blunder makes me feel a little better, though.

Good to see you posting more...

Hey BD. Glad to see I'm not alone ;) That's what makes chess fun and exciting! Guys like us only like doing hard things. BTW, do you still play Nash's board game?

I haven't played Hex in a while, but I still think it is a beautiful game! If you ever want to play...

Losing to someone 200 points lower than you is not necessarily a bad thing. It does look horrific in the short term, but if you learned ANYTHING from the experience, then it can only help you in the long run. Sounds like maybe you were distracted or something.
