Its all relative isnt it it doesnt matter how good you are there is always someone that will win you. I have been playing for a year and I still cannot get over 600 I keep just going between 500 and 600. I dont think I will ever get over 1000 I just dont have the aptitude. But like I said there is always someone that is going to beat you I think the main thing is to enjoy the game. If you are not enjoying it then move on to something else.

At some point I found myself stuck, and I was wondering how to move forward too.

Here is what I did:

I remembered how AI train. Chess.com AI analyze GM games and try to replicate them (their openings, tactics, etc.)..so I stopped playing for a while and instead selected one GM whose games on chess.com I would analyze in details and and try to understand the logic behind every single of their moves (or at least most of them)...I did for a few days and then when I started playing again not only would I easily crush the Antonio Bot (1500 elo rated) on a consistent basis, but my elo climbed by a hundred after a few games.

 

Unfortunately, in just 48hrs it all dropped back again to where it was...so I think I will go back to studying GM games again.

I won my school's chess tournament and had to study so much my elo dropped to 300.

I have clawed my way up to 900 and was working on 1k

Lately my chess has been garbage and I'm losing elo fast 😂 secretly dieing inside each time I lose.

Worst part I'll be winning and just blunder my queen for no reason. 😭

This just (almost) happened to me but it was because I was traveling. Do not play chess inside a car! You could disconnect.

Good advise by playing 10 minutes or play 3 minutes

It's because of frustration. You need to sort yourself out son

If you aren't in the right frame of mind for a rated game, play against the computer, or anonymously.

In a rated game you should expect to be pushed. If you just want entertainment the other options are a better bet.
