Is this normal? Am I on the verge of a breakthrough or am I a scientific curiosity?

It’s normal for speed chess. Play longer time controls like 15|10 or 30 minute rapid games.

Haha. Could be just a streak. A good chance to learn by reviewing those games, though. Where in Canada are you?

Oh I thought you were the same person. The profile pics and flags are similar. Is that your little brother?

If you play to many games in row you can get tired and lose the sharpnes. But sometimes it is just random. Like I hit my all time highest rating in Blitz at 4 am after playing Blitz for a few hours, which is kinda strange. But usually I play worse if I play to long and get tired.
