I keep my rating going down.

I keep my rating going down.

I was 1670... now I am 1530 points only.

Something happent to me. My problem is I can't figure out my opponent's next move.

But I don't give a f...ck about that.

I play for pleasure.

I an not a Chess maniac.

The question is 2 B or NOT 2 B... or in this case 2 NOT B or 2 B!

So 4example I recommend you to play something like 1. b2-b4 and surprise your opponents. There4e, b4 your opponents play what they think... they will, you surprise them. At least you will have fun with your game. 

Before, also I played more solid & harvested more points. Nowadays I play very volatile & make silly silly mistakes at times. So I totally relate.  

However, I also play chess as brain-exercise, so even when I suffer bitter defeats, I know that I am better on than better off!  

That is my humble opinion.

Thank for advise , man.

I am tired from this race on chess.com for higher rating.

And it seems... you understand me well. )

Take a little break. It’s what I’m trying to do with COVID (but it’s hard!).

Take a break could do, or play some unrated games. That is doing it for me right now, so will recommend that. I have had lots of fun playing unrated games recently. It is almost just as serious but your hands are not as tied so you can experiment a bit more & when things go sour you'll take it more lightly. & Then when you feel right, you can switch to play rated. 

Again my humble bid for the situation at hand. Hopefully things will be brighter for you at the end of the day.

Okeu...

Today I tried to make a break.

I didn't play all day.

It was not easy. )

We shouldn't be used to play everyday as Chess addicted men do.

There is Life beyond Chess.

Hm... you can experiment in your rated games too.

My idea is that we should not be fixed on our rating points.

Let's play for pleasure simply.

As we did in our childhood.

Kids are wiser than adults often.

In the end, I think balance is the key to all these. Moderations!

I wish you best of luck with what ever you feel is good for you. However I would suggest a middle-ground solution, as burning bridges to something as healthy & fun as chess is not the best thing to do. That is my humble opinion. 

Cheers!  

I dropped my rating alot this week. 250 blitz games played this week. And i sleept very bad this night but played like crazy today after 3-4 hours os sleep. So playing to much and when tired is really bad for the rating. But its fine. I think i will climb fast back if I rest abit from chess and then play a little bit less per day. 

LOL

Man, Chess is not worth of the such exhausting efforts.

Ancient philosophers taught us be moderated... in their writings.

Gold middle idea.

Nothing too much.

And no... When I was a child, I never took Chess game too seriously.

?

A strange sentence.

play unrated if the number bothers you.

custom seeks:  only play people near your rating & that number will never take a big hit.    🙂

Now I am losing to people with rating  which is even less than mine is.

set custom seek parameters so you would only play people rated higher than you.

you may lose more games, but your rating won't go down as much per loss & you'll probably learn more.

Okey.

The good advise.
