hmm tactics trainer already killed my brain i used to be 1700 at it now im hitting rock bottom (1200 ish
going crazy by playing to many games
Sort:
Sometimes it seems that all of the team match games and tourney games break loose at the same time. The primary team I play on is large in number but not so large in high rated players, so at any given time I am playing 6-8 games at a 3-4-5-even 600 point rating disadvantage. I make a lot of mistakes, i can only play in the evenings or early AM, so I find myself rushing a lot . . .
The thing is, it has made me a LOT better player tactically. I see so many positions playing 15-30 games at a time, and I have learned from most of my mistakes (check those damn knights TWICE before you move!). Now, when I play OTB I see so much more of what is happening. I am willing to take my lumps in here because it has paid off in the games that count.
all possible infoxD!

knights? not only those check the enemy queen 5 times and check your kings position looking for posssible attacks, i should do that...
this is very topical discussion for me, as I have a similar experience sometimes when I play, usually I start messing up, like making mistakes with the computer, or just making random moves, without looking further down the line, or not analyzing your opponenet's move; this is the main reason I lose, unless I am playing someone who is just plain better of course. Even in chess, or competition in general it seems, you are always the one shaping your experience, it's kinda like being punch-drunk or something, I am an intuitive player anyways, so I think this is what leads me to believe that I don't need to reflect? Pure punch drunk.

today i got a headache of all the games im playing i was making terrible mistakes couldnt focus on any of the games and i just felt like resigning every single game i had, i took some time away from the computer thinking about some of the mistakes and distracted myself by watching some tv.
has any1 else ever experienced this?
(i stopped myself and am still playing the games)
When you finish a game, don't start another, maybe start a new one every 2 or 3 games finished.
im not bashing , i can notice when im playing to much by trying some problems
Everyday I say to myself "I must reduce my number of games" and it's already...85, and I wanted to reduce to about 30...

PLus I played more than hundred Vote Chess Games, as well!
The Number of games, that you can handle it is your Limit Abilities.
member for a year finishing a load of games at a time i wonder, used to play a lot more than now?, for me important i am at 90 or so and its not going good
Training 11,5 months at www.chess.com and at letplaychess for speed playing combined with hight ambition paid off.
I finished 6,000 games, with 81 plus 12 first Prizes, plus 2 second plus 2 third Prizes, Plus some more Upcoming soon...
Now it is a good time coming to analyze some of my games with some decisions on future about what is my limit abilities?
Most of the positions are not so complicated, as it looks, or they are rapid underestimated by me...
In Average I spending just a few seconds, and much more time to connecting on the Internet and on the Site Server! And a lot of Disconnections occured, by the way!
The Server is still too weak, low and slow for playing Online Chess here, and close to impossible play Live Chess, and especially Blitz games...
If you wanna grow up, like a Chess Pro, play more games, and play fast!
Take on charge of your fast decisions! The second one on finish is not a Winner!
4 minutes for me can work very good!
In a few seconds Mode I lost most of 2,000 games here...
1. I just doesn't saw full board, at all...
2. I doesn't saw that my partner will mate me first!
3. I don't knew, where was my KIng? with my Queen, or with Opposite Queen?
Less than an Average...
Heejo,
The title to your post is the correct answer:
"going crazy by playing too many games"
I have 130 games going... I need a course on chess mentor on how to cut that down quickly. I'm vacationing until I have time.
hmm its going better tough now im dropping again as i just got myself in trouble with a lot of team matches, but im trying to keep 1500 ish instead of going insane and blundering my way to 1200 again
