Hi, I'm Chinese but was raised in North America. There is something I really don't understand about people from Singapore so lets talk a little and maybe explain a few things to me. I'm just a simple man who lives a simple life with a few hobbies. One hobby of mine is Chess, I have played chess against many players from all over the world of many different background, people of differnet nationalities and ethnicties. Today I played chess against a lady from Singapore and once again this happened... Something that occassional happens when I'm playing chess with people from Singapore?
I'm really trying hard to understand their mentality. In Singapore's youth education system do the educators teaches what is good sportsmanship? How do they teach young people and children on sports&games? What hapened today is not something that has never happened before. The moment I said checkmate the Young Singapore lady slammed the table scattering all the pieces. All I said to her was "Im very sorry, I'm very sorry" and she continued to say "DO YOU KNOW who I AM, DO YOU KNOW I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE? YOU THINK YOU ARE SMARTER THAN ME..."
I'm having trouble understand why, the Singapore people cannot understand that sometimes you learn from losing, and you are a bigger person to take the loss. Do they teach this in Singapore shool?
