I started playing chess again like a week or two ago, and I feel like I was doing pretty good then. But over the past two days, I have just been doing awful on both blitz and puzzles. I don't really know why this has been happening, any suggestions?

Hey, I started back up too after I years' break about three weeks ago. Just keep playing and you will return to your normal self. When I left off, I was 1100 and now I have progressed to 1300. Make sure to take advantage of tactics, stick to a few openings, and watch chess videos from people like Agadmator or Ben Finegold.

Everyone has days when their abilitys just dip. It can be for anything really, and it’s something I wouldn’t worry about. If this carries on for longer and dose not seem like a fluke, maybe your need to re-evaluate. But two days not getting your top mark doesn’t degrade your whole skill.
