How to deal with loosing streak

Sort:
SlothAtTopSpeed

Was 1600 rapid two months ago, these day everybody seems to beat me. Not necessarily by tactical means but usually I am outplayed from the start. Now diving under 1400. Any ideas of how to not only stop the loosing streak but also to also have fun again while playing chess :-) ?

Maybe just take a break, you cold have been burnt out. Another tip that helped me immensely was to simply limit rated games i played. I had a big drop to 1850 but since then I made sure i played no more than 2 games a day (5 games a day is not bad too, i just have low stamina and not that much time for chess)

One tip to stop dropping your Elo is to just ignore it all! Never look at your numbers, all they will do is hurt you.

Never give up (even though it sound cringe) and always keep trying. Never let anything discourage you!

Just don’t play for till the next morning, after a good sleep you will be playing well

Take a break for a couple days or do what I do and grind even more

I nee opening maybe and changing up your play style always helps

You will keep losing because this site is full cheaters and idiots.

The last 6 games I had 3 opponents with +90% accuracy. Destroyed from the go. They were strategically and tactically stronger. I find it strange that opponents from 1300-1400 are so much stronger than the 1500-1600 bunch. But probably I am imagining things that are not there....

Methodically and systematically ban bots.
After about a few hundred bans, live players will start appearing.

Same here, been playing poorly lately but i shouldnt be destroyed by 1500 players playing 90%+ accuracy every 2-3 games. Im just gonna stop playing chess for some times. Maybe they will ban those cheaters.

No doubt "getting better" will solve all my problems tongue

I find myself being extremely streaky lately, as well. My son, who also plays, offered me the advice of playing some bots to get my game back.
