I'm not sure if I'm done with chess entirely, but definitely with online stuff for a while. Lately I've been finding it frustrating when you lose (because it's my mistake) and barely satisfying when I win (because they made a mistake, so it's not really like I won - they lost).
The game that made me rage was really bad, though. It was at a strange time control (9+1 or something?) but I found this really nice non-obvious combination that won two pieces and left me with a dangerous passed pawn that my opponent traded another piece for. But to find that combination I used all but ~10 seconds of my clock and proceeded to blunder away pieces to really stupid stuff until I was down a rook.
