Practice makes Pathetic


Well, works for me anyway!

i got into 1000 elo, and got back to 900 its a bit frustrating but once you notice that your game is improving, getting more and more elo points is just a matter of time, i guess

You play only 10-minute games. Five or ten seconds/move isn't enough time to analyze the position at hand, remember what your lessons may have said, and accurately calculate whether any move you are considering will work out well. If you really want to learn to play well you will have to be more patient. Play longer time controls, play otb, get a good book aimed at beginners (many suggestions available in chess.com "For Beginners" forums). Once you understand more your game will improve.

Ratings typically fluctuate within a range, sort of like the stock market. You're probably just at the low end of your range. (I took a peek at your all-time rapid rating chart.)
Regarding advice, what @mpaetz said...

This is completely normal... I have had drops from near 1400 rapid to almost 1200... from 1400s blitz to below 1200 ... I was on the end of a tilt around 1300 in blitz a few days back too... Now back to 1400+ blitz... getting to that 1500 mark lol...
- Take a break
- Review your games and errors... Like I noticed my Bird's Openings games were not going well (too much queenside castling) and weak squares for knight hops etc being exploited
- Notes are a big big factor in improving; 12 Great Notebooks; I made a OneNote account but it does not have chess diagram you can make Chess.com Blogs for diagrams and set them to private/preview mode...
- Basically note down mistakes you make, missed tactics/ideas etc... group them by theme, weak squares; based on openings etc
- You can also start to stick to some openings like Italian Game and learn a few move of theory; and take notes along the way & branch out etc... (I only know few moves of Italian eg... But I learned a bit of advanced french)

LOL @ Hang it up, even carlsen goes through dry spells, my rating is incredibly low for what my elo should be around the 1500s, just happens to everyone. take a break and say praise be to yevon, Tidus style.

@ryanovster Ahem where did you get the around 1500s elo for your rating... me Jealous of Platinum membership though

Points up and down are a bit of a mystery to me.
I find watching a YouTube video helpful when my games are stagnating.
I recommend Gotham Chess and Chess Vibes.
Don't worry it seems to happen to everyone.
The upward axis is not done in correct increments so the ups and downs appear more extreme than they actually are.
This is my current pet peeve with chess.com.
The correct way to draw a graph is to put a zig zag line at the bottom of that axis to show that you are only showing the top part of the graph.
Seriously, I learned this in high school.
Draw your graphs correctly chess.com.

Coming across strong competition is not the end of the world. Don't lose the psychological battle. You can rally and show you can play good games.
