I seem to always lose blitz games
Sort:
....seems like you’ve lost a bit of the enjoyment of just playing. ultimately your anger will be / is self defeating. I’d recommend playing with a mind to just enjoying it and to develop best state of mind - forget about losing/winning for a bit. Register a new username just as a “don’t care” account if you like (i use my lichess account for that actually - and use that if i’m not at my best or don’t care or have a hangover). Remember that blitz is a very different game - a good part of it is in self control as well as just experience. In terms of getting better - probably you’ll make progress if you focus on building good habits. e.g. if you can always take a few seconds to consider what the opponents best next move will be...groove that into a habit.
the thing is with chess is that it’s a very broad scale. actually your rating suggests you’re quite high up- even though it doesn’t really matter what level you are (it doesn’t really matter because there are always players both better and worse than you are). Personally i console myself when on a losing streak with the though that chess.com will start bringing me weaker players which i’ll find easier to beat... no point in being ego-invested in some high score.
I’ve deleted the chess app twice now in rage at how many games I’m losing, I’ve dropped so low in blitz and I can’t for the life of me get back up, I’m not sure whether I should stop playing blitz and focus on other game modes, I play daily on a regular basis, and my level is about 1300-1400 currently, I haven’t read a single book on chess, not sure where to start, can someone please help, it would be much appreciated.
