Just last week I was pushing for my highest blitz rating ever on lichess and all of a sudden I started losing game after game. Finally came out of it! Stopped playing for a couple days and just did puzzles, read some chess books casually, and stopped playing as much. That seemed to do the trick! When I’m doing well I think I get too aggressive and try for gambits and opening traps way too much when I should just focus on improving my position and gain small advantages.

Ever been in a chess slump and if so how did you get out??
