Elo anexiety


I have that same anxiety and honestly every 100 points it gets a little more intense. At this point, every time I hit a new a goal, I remind myself afterwards that that goal is reached. It's about learning as much as possible and making it to the next 100. It's hard, but you have to accept bad games and bad days are gonna happen. I remember I got to like 1289 and then tilted to 1170 or something like that. It was deflating, humiliating, and humbling. I kept studying, continued sessions with my coach, do puzzles and watch games as often as I could and climbed my way up to 1345. After many tilts and bad games.
Tilt WILL happen. Nothing you can do when it does except stop playing, study your losses, and come back the next time and build back up. Chess will test your resolve. So accept the challenge and get it, buddy. Good luck!
Also getting to 1100 is no big deal. There is such a minute difference in skill level between 1000 and 1100. When I hit 1000 it took me about a month to hit 1200. Between 1200 and 1300 is when things start to get a little tougher. But until that point, tactics and opening principles are going to get you beyond your current Rating. Any material you can find to supplement those two facets of the game will help you along the way.

High elo is the side effect that comes with playing good chess. Forget about elo, focus on the chess is all I can say. Notice also that focusing on elo/ego is detrimental to learning chess. Although it can be a stimulus to start a study or practice session, in the actual practice you have to forget about it. It's meaningless. In the end, you have to remain cool-headed, with dopamine-fed expectation cycles no brain gets ahead - you need to learn to calculate.
Now watching your mind you can notice, when you calculate, and the fear of losing kicks in (or the exciting prospect of winning, for that matter), it tends to destroy your rational thought stream. Because it's another part of the brain taking over (amygdala mostly). Don't let it. It will destroy your chess. Stay rational.
And it's different from staying calm. Calm still refers to the emotions. Chess is intense not because of intense emotion but because of intense calculation going on.
What chess players refers to with intuition is not something subconscious but something superconscious, beyond rationality. But first, be rational, self-controlled - from Magnus' playlist:

I woke up this morning and have so far got pretty much every puzzle wrong , tilting 100 points. I'm thorough with puzzles so not sure where my head's at. I had cleared all my failed puzzles yesterday so was ready for another rise but to be honest, today's just not my day. Nothing else with a rating hopefully today as I'm starting to get hacked off and I'll just tilt in games, lose my cool and delete my account if history is anything to go by 😬🤣
