How do you deal with burnout? I've recently entered it and I never really got back to where I used to be. I used to be 1100 elo which i know isn't the greatest but I've suddenly dropped to 900 elo and I can't get back. I've tried taking a break from chess for about a week twice but that didn't work. What do I do?

Hey gukeshfan70, that's awesome! Keep it up and especially with a coach you can achieve hundreds of ratingpoints in a year.

Hey smiley_face10, I'm sorry to hear you have a burnout. What could help is to systemize your chess. Don't play too much, keep your studies up and have faith and joy in the journey you are taking. I was always curious about how I should play certain positions. Once you focus on learning, ratingpoints don't matter and you keep more joy in the game.

It's a good idea to ask your (GM) coach to show you how to master the basic endgame patterns

Then openings that go forward. For example 1.e4 Scotch and open sicilians. With Black you the King's Indian and Tarrasch against 1.d4. Against 1.e4 the Sicilian Najdorf for example.

The ultimate way is to first check your thoughts on what you did well and what you did wrong. Write those down and then check with the engine if your thoughts were correct.
