So there I was sitting at almost 1500 then I lose my mind I have to have lost over 20 games in a row now I am at 1280... I study I play where am I going wrong its like my positions are always weak my opponents always out play me when is it all going to click and start going up higher this is ridiculous.

Tips and feedback welcome

Sincerely,

Lost in the dark without a clue?!

How many of those games have you fully analyzed with computer?  You'll be surprised

to find out how close you were to winning...

same here friends

None yet because I blundered most of the games away it like I'll go slow get chess blindness then blunder.

I have losing streaks, I lost about 200 rating points pretty quickly recently, but I just keep at it and I always come back.

So what is it, are you getting outplayed or do you blunder?

Or do you blunder when you're getting outplayed?

 Blunder when I am getting outplayed and the position is yielding my opponent a slight advantage

I just went over some of your recent games and it looks like you are making a lot of fundamental strategic and tactical errors.  Trying to hard to hold onto pieces when trading is a better choice.  Not capturing toward the center with pawns.  Attacking in the direction opposite to where your pawns are facing.  Im just getting back to chess after taking  a long time off so I'm making some blunder errors but it appears just simplifying your game and folowing basic fundamentals should help your situation.

 Thank you for your advice I will work on that any other advice is appreciated...also if you look at my games from early Feb to now it has been a downhill battle

reasses your chess by silman has increased my play greatly, and ive only read 4 chapters

Don't worry too much about your rating....just know that with every move you make you become a better player...

Update so I kinda gave up on 10 min blitz for now playing online rating of 1672 woot! hopefully I can make 2000 by years end

10 min blitz is kicking my butt too.  I think I am enjoying 15/10 a lot more.  I spend too much time trying to calculate in the 10 min blitz games and it puts me into time pressure.  Then I start blundering.
