Does anyone else feel like they have streaks, where they seem to play pretty well for a while and then lose everything for a while? I feel like I'm in a slump right now, and it's quite frustrating.
Yes, I am a very streaky plaayer.
Yes, this is how the mind works I believe. I find the same with guitar. What I have done with guitar is to play it intensely for a day, then leave it for 2-3 days, then come back to it. When I come back, my impro is amazing again, and I never miss a note. Maybe you should give it a try? If you want to keep chess in your daily life, play on eg monday, learn openings tuesday, tactics wednesday, then back to gaming on thursday.
Maybe I'll have to give that a try. I know for sure one thing I need to try to do is keep my number of games down. Seems anything over 5-10 is too many.
I find I am always streaking. Currently I am on a winning streak. The streak should be included as a statistic (it might be already, but I don't know because it is premium only).
