Do you see a common reason for your losses?

I have had some ups and downs but to give up is never the answer. Study a white and black opening that you like and master them, it will give you a better chance of winning more games

7 straight loss is a wake up call. read a chess book, watch chess videos or solve tactics.

On the back of your device you can play backgammon, Try it! It's a lot less intricate and also much fun.

have a look for snakes and ladders too, if you prefer something a bit more intellectual.

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin

That Ludo?

This did not appear in the grim board games of my 1980's childhood...

Chess is challenging and requires constant studying.

Cheers Chinn, that's quite a catchy riff ha ha.

I am glad to see you playing 3-day games instead of Blitz. Now, your chess should improve.

I don't know why you are so upset I looked at your stats and your blitz rating is 900 something which is not bad !

I personally have seen someone with 200 something rating in here ! So think about , it how he feels ? How many games do you think he wins? Exactly!

If you are planning to give up, then what should he think of doing?

Remember that it's just as hard for your opponent.

as for trying to encourage someone going through some depression regarding a few loses- does it work?

is tough love better??

 

and what are we to make of a diamond user complaining about it.

is the Money Not worth the training? or does it simply prove that you can "buy" your way to having chess skills??

 

I am very convinced chess is not for everyone...

Drink after the game, not before.

I do believe that is the point of chess. Refute your opponent's plans and counter them. Asking your opponents to just let you do what you want is just counter-productive and defeats the purpose of the game.
