Permanantly burned out?

"Long story" a few months ago, I learned to play chess. I was fascinated watching others play. The first month "like most beginners" I did absolutely terrible, I thought I would never win a game. I played every day for a month. Then next month rolled around things had changed, I learned different openings, checkmates and checkmates. I felt like I was in my prime, winning almost every match and getting all the tactics right. So I continue to play all day everyday until one day I go to tactics and I get every tactic wrong disbelieved by my performance I call it a day. Next day I lose to the most simplest of matches. I go back to tactics and and still getting them all wrong. Disheartened I take a break for a week. I return after a week and still was doing poorly. Annoyed at this point I didn't want to play anymore. Currently to this day I haven't won a game to this day after that happened. Currently I force myself to play everyday so I don't get worse. It doesn't seem to work but it makes me feel better. Have I become permanently burned out? Have I been cursed by another chess player for bragging during a game? Please help, I  don't know how I can go from loving the game to absolutely hating it to the point I can't hearing it's name.

You need to have patience. If you're expecting to win every match and answer every problem correctly after only a few months of learning how to play, you're going to be extremely disappointed.

"There's a big difference between knowing how to play chess and knowing how chess is played."

E.W.

Yeah burnout is definitely a possibility in Chess.  There are times I hate chess with the thought, "what's the point having a hobby that you can't do when you're tired?"

There are some things that can cause it:

Eye strain.  That is the worst when you have been looking at a monitor all day.  Set up positions on a board. Drowsiness either due to work or medication.  There was a time I was on medication that made it impossible to play any chess.  It was that bad that I would miss-read diagonals etc. Lack of focus -- this can be due to intrusive thoughts or lack of concentration from playing too much throw-away chess.

However it is possible that you don't have burnout and you are just experiencing normal variation.  It doesn't matter if you win or lose but rather how you play. Sometimes after staying at the same rating for months it suddenly increases. Motivation is important.  You shouldn't have to force yourself.  Play an opening and time control you enjoy.

Try having this problem after 12 years of competitive play.
I broke 2100 and than the dumbest of crap started popping up in my games, missed simple tactics, poor calculation, getting bad opening positions.
I took a break for about three months, I came back and took out a master.

When it comes down to it, if you don't feel like playing or studying, don't.

@mike agreed, i had a, let's say a smal version of this burned out, i dropped from 1450 to 1150

If you want to improve after just having learned how to play chess, playing blitz is not the way to go. 

The usual reply, to the usual question...

You play nothing but blitz, bullet, and rapid.  How are you expecting to improve when you're moving fast?

that doesn make much sense

btw people if you can help me

Getting better is a life-long process. Most of us will start out as weak players, then become stronger, and then perhaps we will become weak again--especially if we drift away from the game for years, as I did. 

If you feel burned out, try taking a break from playing games and just study. Set up your board and just play out the games of players you like. I find that to be a very entertaining way to learn.

A few months ago you learned chess? And burned out already, because it's no longer easy? Maybe time for another pastime.

You just have to have faith and keep pushing through. It's happened to me as well, where it seems you can no longer make any progress and hit a brick wall. Don't give up and try to focus on the areas you feel you are the weakest at. You stated that you've been forcing yourself to play every day. If you feel like your emotions are getting in the way, then take a break and come back later when you feel you are no longer frustrated. Know that no matter what it looks like, if you keep making an honest effort to improve your game it is almost impossible to improve. This is coming from an amateur player who has been through the same circumstances you have been through.

Put it in perspective: chess is a game that takes--on average--a decade to master. It's very complex and requires lots and lots of patience. I've been there and I've only been playing a little over a year. If you look at my record in rapid, I have long winning streaks-- and long losing streaks. It happens. I went from 2100 in tactics to 1800 in a matter of days. Sometimes I feel "slow" if you know what I mean. Chess teaches me humility and that's what I love about it.

This is spot on.

How can you be 300 blitz after solving over 1000 tactics. Think about the consequences of your move before playing. Try to think what your opponent will reply. Even with a burnout you should be higher than your current rating. 

You just played a 10 minute game where you resigned in a completely winning position... why???

You thought you were in your chess prime a month after learning chess? Really?

Presumably you were winning games and getting tactics right because you were rated low and getting matched up with poor players and assigned easier tactics.

That said, you absolutely can burn out from playing too much chess. What you cannot do is master chess in a matter of months.

I'm pretty sure it was his opponent who resigned.

Talking complete nonsense isn't going to help anyone.  This is the usual thing on this forum for a-few week-old accounts. I gently suggest that you take your trolling elsewhere.
