How do I stop "THE TILT"?

Sort:
GM_chess_player

I hate tilt. It's just so hard to avoid. Whenever I reach my peak rating, I just tend to drop 100-200 pts in a matter of days. 

Is there anyway I can stop tilt? Is it to just keep on playing, or take a break?

keep playing. Eventually u'll hit a point which u can't tilt past it, and then u'll slowly go back, and tilt bakk down

yes, never rage your games, if ur on a losing streak, stop, don't continue just to win ur rating back, u will just lose more

Yes I agree! One day I tilted 100 points from 1791 to 1691.... I was mad but had to stop and go out (good choice).... Then the next day I did some training, jammed some music, and made it back the 100 bullet untilt! Now I am at 1800 my peak grin.png

@PILOTOXOMXD that's not recommended imo

On a different website I tried that and I tilted from 2100 to 1300... is it really worth it?

:/ Anyway, this has been going on for a period of days. So what if you tilt for 1 day, take a break, and you still tilt? Do the same thing, over and over again?

But think about it. Eventually you'll reach a level where it become easy, and you get those pts back.

Why is everyone saying they're tilting? You can just take a break, workout, or play casual video game, watch a movie, watch tv. Etc! There's many solutions to this!

Yeah. And even if you drop 300 points, perhaps you were never supposed to be that rating ._.

I often get mad when I lose and just keep playing, thinking that I'm gonna win the next one.

Yes, I've learned that from experience. Don't always think you're gonna win the next one!
