Not for me (usually), because I know it’s a very complex game and that anyone who is more than passingly familiar with it is going to be better than me. My frustration level when I lose is directly proportional to the number of dumb mistakes I made. If I did well for my skill level and the other person just played better, then it becomes a learning opportunity rather a source of frustration.
This applies to other games as well. The only exception is when it’s a game where luck plays a big role and it just isn’t going my way that day. Then I’m not winning or learning, which can also be super frustrating.


…what was that even supposed to be? En Passant is the closest match my brain can come up with but there is no “m” in there either.
