Fast Ways To Lose Elo

Hi everyone!

I’ve had a though of how times I have done dumb things and lost so much of my hard won rating. One example is me playing on a touch sensitive phone and blundering my king. -120 elo in a day!

Please feel free to post fast ways you have lost elo.

Playing while tilted/tired

The fastest way to lose Elo is by being focused on a checkmate or Not looking at the board and getting your self in checkmate

Not zooming in on a phone or not dragging the pieces while on mobile, CLICKING IS YOUR WORST ENEMY ON MOBILE, trust, as I'm on chess.com on my mobile 24/7, I hardly use a computer for chess.com

I refuse to play anything rated on mobile.

Well... too bad I play on Mobile, and there's nothing that I can't do anything about it.

resign in the second move

Bring yourself to a capture

Play (as a high rated player) in a non-anonymous game with low rated players. They sometimes all choose to target you

This is by far has been the most common one for me.
