I recently hit my peak of low 1700s in blitz, minimal study just playing a lot recently after a few years. This week I have dropped over 200 elo points! Has anyone else gone through such dips?
I am tilting massively and starting to not enjoying it. I am used to losing in chess, but when you losing to players you think you should be beating it feels worse. And the drop it Elo makes it feel like you are unlearning chess.
I can't see basic tactics, or seeing threats and forgetting them 2 moves later, blundering loads.
I don't see how you can just forget or unlearn chess in the space of a week.
Yes I reached 2300 then went down to 2000 it happens to everyone though the main thing is to make sure you eventually get back to lets sy 2200(somewhere between 2000-2300)
For example
Yeah out of nowhere I went from 720 to 579 elo
