I give up on this game of insanity!

I hate this game! I get to going well, make decent moves, and gain some wins, but then I put out a performance today that puts me right back into the beginner category I make every stupid blunder at the outset of the game, blunder postions, fall to obvious attacks and lose 100 eilo. A few of the games today, especially my last for today was I don't care just take the win.  I feel like the pool of players at 1200 to 1300 have some very suspicious players who when looked at are 90%  and up on best move every move, these are the games that get me tilted then I get pissed and start playing tilted chess which leads to this. Lose points do well gain then repeat never gaining anything! Is this pointless?

It sounds like you may benefit from my videos on the Stop-Loss System and on curing tilt:

We all have good days and bad days.
Take ownership of your losses and your mistakes and learn from them.

Thats fair, but there is next to nearly 0 margin of error in even the 1200 to 1300 categories here. I cant imagine the 2000 and up eilo pool. What you gotta play 98 % accuracy every game or lose? Perhaps everytime you move a piece you need to calculate 7 moves deep? I played in the past and never encountered that skill set till 1600 or higher. Yes I own the blunders, but there is a group mixed in playing many teirs higher then they should be at 1200 to 1300 eilo. Thats supposed to be beginer chess imo.

Even at 7 moves deep your looking at that over 3,400 possible move sets per piece and that's not counting discoveries as a result of exchanges....

Congratulations 🎉 you are free from this demanding girlfriend. But to be really honest, chess is easy. I think you are overthinking about moves. Just learn to play simple chess and hope for tactics. Deliberately play moves, which set up traps for your opponents. In other words, hope chess. You will hear some people say hope chess doesn't work, but it does work upto certain level.

Also don't play when you are not in your best mood. Chess requires an enormous amount of peace of mind and concentration. Don't force yourself even when you don't feel like playing.

"there is next to nearly 0 margin of error in even the 1200 to 1300 categories here"
++ No. You lose because of your mistakes, not because of some magical things happening by 1200-1300 players not making errors but still staying at 1200-1300. They do not conspire to win against you and lose against everybody else.

"What you gotta play 98 % accuracy every game or lose?"
++ No. I am usually around 80% in rapid.

"everytime you move a piece you need to calculate 7 moves deep?"
++ No. I usually do not even calculate more than 1 move deep in rapid, only more if the position demands it.

"there is a group mixed in playing many teirs higher"
++ Yes, there are ambitious young players who study and make progress and are underrated as long as they are on their way up.

Blaming the game for your shortcomings should be recognised as a hint that your gaming future lies elsewhere.

It goes beyond chess: also in life you have to take responsibility and not blame higher powers for your misfortunes.

Good luck, we all go through it

It sounds like when you're affected very badly by tilt. It's a serious problem - this may be of interest:

Really good! Thank you for producing those. I especially liked the second one.

You forget - there can be only one.

Await the quickening, and all that ...

Oh this an't no game Sunshine! You joined ten days ago and already hate it? That ain't even right, "c'mon man!" Wait till you've been here a while longer, you'll really learn to love hating this addiction. Hang in there friend, we've all been there.

Aye! Dinnae lose your head over this, Duncan!

Don't take accuracy here too seriously, basically it is inflated in order for lower rated players to feel good about themselves getting high accuracy and keep playing. The accuracy here has been changed a few years ago, and now almost everyone is between 60 and 90. The effect it had for sure is that now everyone thinks that everyone else is cheating.

I had games where my opponent was close to 70, and the game was won in 10 moves or so with 3 blunders from the same opponent. Several years ago, he would get something below 20 for that. There are many games where in my opinion accuracy is pretty inflated. I feel that only in sharp games you will now get more realistic and lower accuracy.

I am looking at your games and what I see is many inaccurate or outright bad moves from both you and opponent. For instance in many of your games you develop your pieces slowly, do now follow principles, play many pawn moves in the opening and so on. Far from supposed perfect play.

On that level you don't really hang pieces too often, but those inaccurate moves will hurt you in some games. Not all, but in some for sure, the opponent will gain initiative and will have an easier game than you, and that equals more losses than wins in such games for you.

Sure you will encounter occasional cheater, and such suspicious games you should report, but most people will play fairly, and that is what your games are telling me, a lot of people around 1 200 playing in accordance with that rating.

Besides the new world has taken over

No I don't hate it. I love and hate it simultaneously. Sorry to all I got tilted..
