I'd stopped complaining a long time ago. Then someone had to keep saying not very smart things just to contradict me, so I was arguing. If you are not able to know the difference between complaining and arguing then the rest of the nonsense you said doesn't surprise me.

I don't have to win all of my games to have won more than that other guy. And I did win more than that other guy. And yet they gave it to him. So I very much have something to complain about. Just because you're in denial of that fact doesn't make it any less so.

You are making a false dichotomy logical fallacy. As if one has to choose between complaining and working on one's chess.
A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise. This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it asserts that one among a number of alternatives must be true. This disjunction is problematic because it oversimplifies the choice by excluding viable alternatives, presenting the viewer with only two absolute choices when in fact, there could be many
