Help plz

Study your games and look for a common denominator. Also if you are trying new strategies openings etc you may stumble while adapting your play

So if you are on a losing streak you may just be learning to adapt to new strategies. It takes lots and lots of time, practice and self coaching to get better. Another note. Always remember even when you win you should still look back and look for potential mistakes. What could be part of the problem is because you made play mistakes and got away with them for a while then went up against others who punished you for them. Lastly there will always be ebbs and flows for success in this game. Just a part of life. Keep trying and keep learning. :)

Common denominator as in a common mistake. Maybe you leave pieces unprotected too much. Maybe you don't protect your king enough etc. Just a common mistake that leads to problems.

Bot games don’t count. Play others at your rating.
