Comment on Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in?

I’d say the worst are when…
You outplayed your opponent, but still lost
The opponent is toxic
Your teammates are actively throwing
You put a significant investment into the game
Of those, usually only the last is true of chess. I’d say most Esports titles are worse. Nothing is as bad as being locked in a game of CS or Dota for an hour with a griefer, while the game is clearly otherwise winnable, and the opponents spend the whole game gloating about how good they are.
