Not many of us can score a perfect record most of us are losers there are very few champions that can go undefeated in their career. So most of us will have to deal with losing at one time or another in our lives. If you have been reading my blog of late I can say I found a good piece of chocolate today and I made good use of it. This opponent was roughly the same chess rating as myself a lowly 1102 but wait! He had only one win and more than ten loses. I told my wife I have an excellent chance of beating this opponent and in fact I played him three straight games for ratings until finally I said enough is enough. But he was like a good piece from the chocolate box this was the one guy I could beat especially after seeing his win/lost ratio in his profile I was like a hungry shark looking for a feeding frenzy when I looked up his profile. I figured he wanted to oppose me for three games because you can't get better at chess unless you play opponents better than you; they serve to toughen you up and yes it it harsh and not pleasant when they give you lessons one must learn to absorb the loses and figure out what they did wrong to make a right. I love a good story for this is living life to the fullest hearing and telling the best ones.
