Part of being a chess player is losing many games.

But what if those experiences didn’t have to be so painful?

Then, I collected what I felt was the most helpful advice, categorized them, and put them into a 5-step process. It can be used anytime you endure a particularly emotional or upsetting loss.

The advice here ought to help you reduce some of that emotional bite from a loss, as well as ensure you don’t beat yourself up too much over it. 

Here’s to making your chess journey more enjoyable!
