No. I always play like I'm a chess god.
Does everyone have days when they play terribly??
Sort:
Too much blitz chess kill your ideas. Everyone should study chess more and play it less.
I play really bad sometimes but It happen too that you gain rating points so you play better players, then you lose and get back to your natural rating and then you maybe lose some more because you are playing not so good and keep going down in your rating until you start playing lower rated players and you start to win some rating points until you reach your natural rating level, then as you are playing good you win some same level or upper level players and you keep winning rating, until you--- well kind of get the idea I guess, that's I'm always 1900 and will be forever I guess :)

RUB IT IN why don't ya Lofina....hahah
Err! That would be every day for me.
I noticed this with myself, so I began looking for any patterns related to the days I play poorly. Few things stood out, except I did notice one with very high correlation: the days I play poorly tend to end in "y".

Then you can be rest assured in knowing that even though you may have played poorly yesterday and today, you will be better tomorrow.
Bad days are like the weather, the stock market, the NFL.
I could go on.

Wow good responses I'm not alone! I've made a new rule to myself - if I lose 3 games in a row then no more games (I play 5 minute) in that "session ". It's better bc I now have maximum of "minus 3 "frustration rather than my record -12!

Every 2nd post is a question. Some don't have question marks though... is it the question marks that are illegal (notice I've omitted one here)

Anyone have this problem at times? I'm sure it's a matter of not been able to concentrate some days or periods....
I have bad days, and for me it's not just a matter of concentration, it's also a matter of getting lazy about doing all the things I need to do before making a move, especially looking to see if all my pieces are protected and if there are double or discovered attacks to which I am vulnerable.
I also have bad days in terms of trying to find a good strategy coming out of the middle game. I either launch an attack without enough material to pull it off or get defensive instead of making threatening moves. I those cases it IS a case of concentration failing me.
The way I get out is to acknowledge that I am in a rut, I don't really play this bad. Then I focus on tactics,study a little and wait for it to pass. After a 2 week rut I am finally coming back quickly and am at 1750's..... The sun is shining again......
