quitting chess

Dude if you enjoy the game go for it

Dont worry about loss just improve watch videos learn tactics it will all work out

Same thing happened to me

If you want to…personally it sounds like you’re overdoing it: 3-5 hours every day on something you feel is a bit pointless is going to burn anyone out. 

Don’t think of it as “quitting” ( which has a connotation of permanence) but rather an extended break. Perhaps the original passion and interest may return - tomorrow or next year. Most everybody learns the board game. It’s not a lasting hobby for everyone. The vast majority do end up quitting within a short time... no shame in it. If the activity creates undue stress... why participate? 

Grade schools 1-12 offer after school programs. That time between school ending and parents ending work. As an instructor for the chess programs I inquired straight away how many had signed up out of their choice or that of their parents. 
Point is - by sessions mid way, many of the original students with high enthusiasm had lost interest. They had expectations and found the activity not as they imagined. They naturally gravitated towards other activities. On the other hand, many students once introduced to the game discovered a new interest. 
Chess is a hobby to be enjoyed/played for a lifetime. 
There is no rush.

seems like you are a good blitz player, your level is twice mine. So you can only imagine how many pieces I blunder. You are better then lots of people. I doubt I will ever reach your level. Hang in there.

That’s great then, you enjoy it, I think you’ve answered your own question. The enjoyment can be enough in and of itself. 

I think it might be the time to take a step back, take a break, and consider what you want out of chess. Do you play for fun? If so, Reggie's advice might be worth a listen:

"If it's not fun, why bother?" - Reggie

But the choice is ultimately up to you.

you probably don't want to hear this but I think youre playing too much speed chess. Playing so many games in such a short time period will burn you out

I agree do 10+0 or longer games

I've been sticking to around 5 10|0 games a day and I've been very satisfied with my chess lately (maybe it's just the Catalan being so good idk)

These thoughts are normal and show that you care. Don't give up. Just study harder and play more games. Get a coach if you really aren't sure about the next steps.

What I did was take a break and study. Get an openings book, learn basic strategy, endgames, and do plenty of puzzles. Also, analyze your games heavily to find your mistakes. This helped me quickly gain 90+ points.

Agree with take a break from playing and read about chess history.

"One of the keys to ultimate success is the ability to go from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill

I had to lose thousands of games before I reached my current rating.

IMO it’s better to be bad at chess and enjoy it rather than being good and hating it.

Until Covid hit I didn't even know how to check my OTB elo...

Hi brother, 

Chess strength takes time. Most of us Masters became masters after 20 years or more of playing. I would suggest that if you are serious about your chess strength, you should hire a chess coach who will guide through a right process of chess training. 

Now is not the time to hijack this thread... Use pms if necessary.
