i think most play within a 100ish point rating range. People rated higher than you will play worse than you and people rated lower than you will play better than you. I sometimes like to play the bots. I can sometimes beat some of them rated higher than me. Also you are more likely to hit your goal rating with 3000 games instead of 300.

That is tilt. It appears that the more you work hard on chess, play and grind, the more common tilt is. In fact, after my last two updates posted three days ago, I recovered from the tilt and then tilted again, making it my third major tilt in a week. Also, even more problematic is the way I'm losing games. There's too many so I won't post the games here, but you can check out the game sin my profile. An extremely hard fought game that I won but instead drew by stalemate. A completely winning game where I blundered backrank mate. An even game I lost due to a miscalculation in the endgame. Among many, many others. It seems that at this level (~1500), when you go on tilt, it usually takes the form of:
- Playing with 85%+ accuracy but getting outplayed by a very good opponent
- Managing to overcome the fears of tilt and still playing decently, but due to the previous loss(es), makes some inaccuracies or tactical missteps, and end up losing a winning game.
- Full on tilt. Ranging from 3 to 10+ games lost in a row depending on your mental state. Usually in extremely stupid manners and losing to very bad opponents. Psychological trauma.
- Make a small comeback, but still fail to regain rating.
- Considering quitting chess, but then decides otherwise and play again, and start winning (finally).
- After less than 5 wins, repeat the process and go to step 1.
This vicious cycle is so depressing that I believe most people quit chess by now. Did you experience a similar process of tilt? For those players who are rated higher than me, was 1500 really this much of an extreme obstacle and requires unprecedented level of grind, above and beyond anything below this rating (1200, 1300 etc)?? What can I do to overcome this? If you don't mind, please look over my recent games (sry there's a lot), and tell me, am I playing at 1500 level, or am I actually just a 1400 who got lucky and climbed to 1500, thus explaining my inability to maintain this rating? What are some suggestions on how to tackle this intermediate level monstrosity rating range? As always, thank you for the support.
if you get 1540 for exemple and don't can grow up more the is your limit, that is your elo, if you lose after ones games, is for burnout, wait the pain in head, and your tired leave, and then go for play again, normally i played 2 or 3 games per day, considering you play this 3 games per mounth can grow easy 400 in one mounth, but is how max, improve more than 250 per 3 months is hard
