I find that how much sleep I get, time of day, distractions in my life etc. affect my play. I have best brain focus around 10:00 am and play then. Find for yourself what time and place suits your chess game and stick with it. Regardless we are all human and will have good and bad days.
Hello everyone. I have been playing for close to two years now and have managed to reach 1700 within this time. Ever since I reached 1600 however, I sometimes suddenly hit a rut and drop several points worth of rating. I get terrible tunnel vision, miss tactics that can be called basic at my level (sometimes I just straight up hang pawns and pieces), throw any advantage I get out of the opening, and just seem incapable of winning.
That said, on good days I really feel like I understand the positions I get and how they should be played out. I know that good and bad days are a part of every sport, but is there a way to reduce the number of bad days and simultaneously increase good days?
