I play competitive chess, and studies have shown that grandmasters at the very highest levels possess this exact quality. The thought of losing is such an overwhelming and driving force that it contributes more than anything else to their own continual betterment at the game. I guess I don't have enough of that.

Yes, that's why you have so many "grandmaster draws." I assume you're familiar with the term.

For chess at the grandmaster level, "hating to lose" many times does not equate to "striving to win."
