Aboslutely Brutal

(Not 100% certain if this is the right category to post under) For a few days I was on an aboslute winning streak. In two day I went from 800-950. Tonight I lost for games consecutively and went to 855. Is there any factor prone to cause terrible in-game results? I was doing so good, then tonight I just bombed every game...what happened?!

Rest, focus, diet, stress...

I think I am too tired and was riding a high from the last few days preformance. I was too confident, let my gaurd down, lost, an then it rattled me destroying my momentum thus causing more loses.

Or maybe chess is an incredibly hard game that can kick you in the ass at any time?

4 losses isn't so bad, I did that just today but had 6 win's later in the day..  Sometimes bad luck, being distracted, and playing too aggresive can all combine..  Do some tactics or study some games (some say GM games but I personally like to review games from 1600-1700 rated players as It is more understandable) or just do study whatever chesswise until you really feel like you want to play a game.  Sometimes I forget to play to my opponent and just start throwing out pieces and get clobbered.  A good way to keep momentum is not to hang pieces, if you play strong and force tactics you will keep your momentum, no better way to kill your drive then to give away material.   Another good thing to factor in is have mini-goals that keep you focused.  GL

Review your games, and play more correspondence (online) chess here than blitz. I found that while blitz is a real test of your knowledge, it really doesn't help you at all if you're trying to improve- you simply don't have the time to study and explore a position.

Also, work on your visualization and calculating skills- Daniel Rensch has two fantastic videos on that- the "Achieving Full Board Awareness" two part series.
