I see a lot of people at your rating level make silly moves just to gain time on their clock. I didn't see any of that happen in this game. So you must be one of the better bullet players at your rating level at least...

Huge rating falls is you celebrating and embracing your inner patzer
Said Solskytz, who recently made a blitz rating record of 2117 - only to fall back to 1986 several days later.

Dang, I missed my chance. I should have played you during that time

Wait wait, you can still make it - who said that I'm not going to drop further?
But if you're into bad luck, you'd play a 2117 strong Solskytz who is going to rob all of your rating from his current 1996 placement...

I have been playing only 1 min games and my rating has been for a long time around 2050-2100 but now my rating fell to somewhere around 1900-1950 and I can even feel how my chess skill is worse than a couple of weeks ago. I have been playing nearly every day so this bugs me. It's almost like I have damaged my brain or something.
Don't get me wrong - rating means practically nothing to me, but the huge fall in my rating illustrates well my current playing experience. When I was +2000 I felt like my tactics were depending a lot on my intuition. Now I feel like I have lost that. Is this normal?
Below is a typical game I won as black when my rating was +2100 in a 1 min game. Nowadays I could never find such moves within seconds.
it happens all the time in bullet. you will fall and then youll climb back up again. just give it a break.

I don't know, playing someone at their peak has the benefit of the only path from the peak is down!
Honestly though, if we play, I hope we're both in good form at that time
