What was your most emotional reaction to a lost Chess game, ever?

I wept, like for 5 minutes. I was pretty drunk that time, too.
Rage Quit... Didn't leave the page, didn't log off, I just held the computer's power button until the game went away from my screen...

Then vented on GTA 5 by running people over.
That made me laugh, thank you!

I rarely feel strong emotions from losing a chess game, but winning sometimes makes me feel like a god.

More seriously, winning can give me a feeling of power, pride, and a feeling that this is the way it should be.
"I gave you that takeback because I felt your pain and you've you used it against me! You are a disgusting person. I am never playing you again."
I just came here to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling so attacked right now.
""I gave you that takeback because I felt your pain and you've you used it against me! You are a disgusting person. I am never playing you again.""

To pity is to fall into error.
I banged on my desk and quit blitz chess for good. Chess was not originally designed to be played with time limits, and timers did not exist at the time.

Nowhere is this more clear than victories by flagging in blitz despite clearly won positions that under any other circumstances, would result in your opponent resigning. I have not played blitz since.

That's a bit of an over kill. sometimes i just want to play quick games, doesn't matter if its real chess or not.
Dio - I've said this before "A takeback is altruism (blah blah blah) deal with the consequences" Now I understand.
I'm going to insist on a deposit next time :D
