Rise_Of_The_Immortal

I am playing chess for around a year and have a rating of staring 14's. The problem is that i have decreased my rating by about 25pts. i lost with a 12's and drew with a 10's. i am getting nervous to play with lower rated players that too young players. Please suggest me some ideas so that i can increase my rating above 1800 soon.

[in India its very hard to play in rated tournaments]

Here's a mad idea. Learn more about chess.

Kaynight you are a laugh per minute.

Rise..of ..the ..immortal...I suggest you PAUSE dont play games . Try computer chess until your confidence RISES.   Lengthy sessions of play will deteriorate your game. REFRESH often.  What you have just referred to is FELT by all of us at some time . Its mental fatigue and SAMENESS ( routine )where the mind idles. You could change your handle name its too much to live upto

Hi, I am also an Indian, I know its tough in India, especially in Tamilnadu. If you want to increase your rating, you try to buy standard chess books and take more time to play any move, don't get nervous and find how to stop nervousness. Even, I have the same 'nervous' problem. "Rather than overestimating, underestimate your opponent" Magnus Carlsen. Good Luck...

Becoming an "Immortal". Hmm...A fairly modest aspiration. Just read the Bhagavad Gita and realise you already are Laughing

I am in the 1800's and experience the problem getting in the 1900's. It is like Sisyphus, who was punished by the gods, because he had tried to overcome his personal death by locking in the god of death. Everytime I think I reach the top, I get crushed by my opponents, my rating falls down and I have to start all over again. Welcome to chess. :-)

He's not Indian.  He's a native of Trollsylvania.

Good advice!

Better yet, try not to look at their ratings until the games over. Is awesome to find out after the fact that chump you just manhandled was rated 200 points above you.

Been there. Done that.

Have come darn close to beating players 400, 500 points higher like that as well.
