You gained 250 points, and then you lost 100 points. In the end, you gained 150 points. This is good progress. Try and think of your elo rating as a match making system first, and a rating system second. Short term gains or losses don't matter much, as long as you keep playing games your rating will eventually return to where it is supposed to be (as an accurate reflection of your online playing strength). Is it supposed to be at 1750? Or at 1850? You won't know unless you keep playing. Have fun, and keep putting in effort if your goal is to get better at chess. Do puzzles, review your games, study some openings, get a book and play master games on your live board, etc. Most important is to just have fun! GL

Hi, can someone give me some tips on what I should do, recently I've had some really good progress, I've went from 1600 to 1850 and now I lost 100 elo and I'm at 1750, it's pretty frustrating and I'm not sure why this happened.
