I just need to vent my frustration. After thousands of games I was beginning ti beat 1300 1400 players on chess.com. Now today I can't beat anyone, not even a sub level 1100 player. How is it possible to oscillate in skill so much? It just irritates me to lose games and I nearly broke my phone today and scared my poor cat yelling at myself for making obvious dumb mistakes I usually never make. I want to have fun but winning really matters to me. Even more important is to feel like I am progressing. But its hard to feel that way to drop to a lower level of skill like that.
Chill out
take a break sometime
learn and practice
play again
rating will go up sometime.....if not immediately
you need to channel your anger/frustration
take a session off of playing and analyze your most recent losses
be hard on yourself
also remember to play the position and not the rating
feeling entitled to win is a sure way to defeat
