When you say "an hour or so on chess every day". Studying or playing?

It's normal to sometimes drop rating and later rise again.
You should consider improvement on a larger scale of time.
One example is when you play too much, it affects the quality of thinking, or tking your games as serious.
It's not like you can really get worse, or so I believe
Well in this case, he is spending hour or so losing.
Are you feeling well? Last year I dropped about 500 points when I had the flu for a couple weeks...

Well I'm stumped then.

Some people never return from their slumps though, so you might seriously be doomed to mediocrity in chess for the rest of your life. A chess psychologist might help.

A chess psychologist will charge you $250 for half an hour, and mine even makes me bring my own couch.
lol yeaaa ... i realized that its the mindset in which you are.... u shud only play when u can give ur full concentration , otherwise dont /... and its very important to play with lower rated , similar rated and higher rated players .. so u have the right combination of wins and losses

^^^ lol
And yea I think that's a good idea anmo. For instance, today I feel like crap and had awful sleep, so I won't be making any moves for a while as I know my concentration won't be there. Instead I'll be annoying people on the forums for a bit. 
lol .. u dont seem annoying to me atleast ... ^^^^^ .. also i searched a bit and i found it was advisable to spend more time on reading chess articles when u r in a slump ...
wildfiremahem @ -- i know ur rating is quite high but i wud like to play a game with you .. online chess. ..
Anmo I'll play you, but the problem is I just had to decline about 5 incoming challenges because I won't be playing as much in the next couple of weeks. I want to avoid timeouts, but if you'd like an unrated game that would be fine with me. Or else you can wait a couple of weeks and we can play rated, it's up to you.
Well i dont know how why or what but my level of chess has been reduced to a great extent lately .. i am about 1200 in blitz on the site .. and till a few weeks bak i easiliy defeated 1150 players .. but lately i am finding it hard to defeat anyone .. help me out. ... i also spend a hour or so on chess everyday ...
any tips suggestions , comments are welcomed..
anmol.
