I am NOT looking for peeps to analyze why, just looking for others to weigh in.

My recent streak is lost 14 out of 17 went from 1200 to barely above 1000. I know I am playing players better than me in daily as my ratings are set -25 - +200 and it shows. UGH it does suck but the dream continues

nah daily is not inflated, 1100 rapid is under no time to think

I've lost 200 ELO in the past week - I am going to try and play less and actually analyse my games!

i am not counting the time out wins. I got  +10 points for somebody that times out on move 4 game so even. I don't even want the 10 points

Probably not a completely losing streak but I crashed like 75 points in one evening and like another 75 the next day.

Every time I hit a new high, I start losing many games in a row and about 150 points.  so when I hit  600, then 700, then 800 for the first time. each time I went through a bad rut after.

 

I don't know if it is psychological,  bad luck, or some kind of algorithm (to match you with players in your range but with a particular style you will lose to??)

Well i do set my matches to -25+ 200 which you can change, I think I just started playing sloppy not caring as much if I lost so easy to hit new game.

For me, it depends on the time format and how many drinks.

I once lost 10 in a row and won 10 in a row right back in bullet.

In blitz, I lost almost 300 points one night and woke up with a bad hang over.

Rapid, I lost 5 in a row to start and won 14 in a row drunk on one night.

Now I don’t drink when I play chess.

For every player maximum lose streak could be like 10 to 17

My max is something like 10 games in a row but after that I win something like 11 games in a row. This was when I was like 700 and tilting really badly

Me, too. Sometimes I don't even feel like I've earned the few wins I get.
