I think you should get time of peace so play unrated for a while as it can help you..

We all hate chess and discipline of mind. But do like us and lie yourself and pretend to love chess and keep playing!!

1200+ rating is really good and in a few months no less! The global average rating is in the 600s, so you are already above "average."

What you are experiencing, with chess being frustrating, is common @Airrick5468 (but that doesn't make us usually feel any better in the moment). Finish reading this post and then you get get to the resources I'll link (preferably in order, but not necessary I suppose).

First, we need to make sure that you have a very clear purpose behind your chess goals. This will help prevent you from chasing an arbitrary rating number and then reaching that goal and setting another higher goal. This doesn't offer real satisfaction and will make you hate chess. This blog post has more on this and should be of help:

Next, I have two longer YouTube videos which will be extremely beneficial, but they are slightly longer. The one on curing tilt is almost an hour long and the Stop Loss System video is almost half an hour, but both of these will save you WAY more time in the long-run if the advice prevents you from unnecessary rating drops and emotional/mental struggle in trying to recover rating (plus the time that takes).

I'll also throw in the older video on the average chess rating if you want more information on that too. 1200 rating means you've accomplished a ton already and you should celebrate that fact! happy.png

This is exactly what im currently experiencing. I was on a good win streak around 1100 plus, even beat the 1800 eilo bot hands-down, then came out and blunders everywhere like I had just learned yesterday. I destroyed my rank and lost games I never would've. Its like a brain fog I get. Any advice to get my mind back on track? I too am thinking of droping the game..

This happens to me. I am usually 850 ish but once I lose I decide to play more. I keep losing and my rating goes down. I was one win away at one point from 900. Any advice to help me?

Here s my opinion, I would like to see more rewards for mate in #4, effectiveness & by completely out-playing your opponent. What does chess.com think? What does everybody else?

If you lose a game you need to do the analysis afterwards to see what went wrong. You also need to do more puzzles and lessons. Focus more on learning than playing. But keep playing games and learning from them.

They aren't YOUR points. Incidentally, it's Glicko, not ELO. But they aren't your points. This is what makes people afraid to improve. They're afraid to lose "their" points so they're afraid to play. So they don't improve.
Incidentally I haven't played online here much lately except against bots. But the reason is I'm playing in the real world again and have face to face ratings for slowplay and rapidplay. I prefer classical speeds anyway. You learn far more far quicker playing slow time limits.
