Losing streak
Sort:
I've had an awful losing streak when I thought I was finally improving a tiny bit. I really struggle to get better at chess and my ranking is still very low but I haven't had a losing streak like this before. Any advice?
Roll with it. If you are losing a lot more then normal you are likely fatigued, distracted or it is bothering you and effecting your play. Take a break have a rest and play again later. Happenes to me a fair bit. I go on a long play stint when tired, but I have the time to play, then I get angry for losing positions I am winning, or making blunders. Just stop after each game, review it. If tired or angry, or you cant give your full attention stop playing rated. I mean there is a lot of self worth we attach to rating points, even when we woild rather not admit to it. So if it bothers you then best not look at them, just enjoy playing.

Stick with it, and I promise the slump will break. Usually it happens just after you're about to give up.
Thanks!

2000 games and 250 rating, that's insane. Why don't you go on youtube and find someone who will teach you at least some basics.
