Chess is a worthless game, it develops skills that are used in nothing irl. You have to calculate everything like a computer or memorize like a brainless phone book with 200% focus all the time, while human beings are about creativity, laziness, and intuition, chess is none of these things, you can only test computers with this game.
Im done with chess. This is a stupid game.
Sort:
So you got beaten down. It happens to all of us.
Brush yourself off. Claw your way back. Show what you're made of.
Bro relax. Elo means nothing. Its only good for you if someone underestimates you.
The word "game" should give you a clue.

I'm honestly tired, its been a terrible day so don't expect good grammar from me in this forum post. Chess is a game that is annoying fun addictive and hateful all at the same time.
in the past week, I have lost myself 170 Elo. and I'm going to quit.
To understand why. you must understand how i got to 1370 first.
Around October 10, 2022 I was at my cousins house, we played some chess on a online website with a chess bot that is worse then martin I believe. we still got absolutely wrecked, my cousin beat me many times that day and I can only say it sparked a interest in me to learn chess.
I started by watching Gotham chess Chess vibes Daniel Narditsky and some other people who managed to hit 2000 Elo so that i could follow their footsteps. Remember that I did not play blitz/rapid until 5 months ago. i had 300 Elo with 0 starting bonuses. I worked hard and hard and got to 1370. Then it hit me hard, I was about to hit 1400 elo i was just one match away then everything bad happened. people kept on defeating me and i got down to 1350. i decided to stop and play rapid and i also lost 3 times there. i decided to take a break and the next day i came and won 2 games in a row! then i lost all the way down to 1290 elo. And today i went all the way down to 1209. It honestly hurts, i learned so fast and beat a lot of state players here but there is no use and i will always be a worthless good for nothing human being. This gave me a reality check and made me realize that even though im just 13, i still have no talent and chess is just another waste of my time. it makes me cry realizing the fact that i have spent over 5 months of my life studying 5 hours a day daily to just give up this badly. And the fact that this has happened to me countless times. I am just a good for nothing loser and i just wanted to say im finally ending my journey of blitz and rapid in a few days. i want to end this stupid game and get it over with. Thanks for reading this forum, I hope all of you can succeed unlike me. Bye!
I'm sorry you feel this way. When I started chess.com I was at 1600 and then my blitz went all the way down to 500, rapid to 999 and then to 983, and bullet to >=720. However, I've been doing more puzzles and took lessons, so my blitz went from 500 to 800 within 3-4 weeks. I know chess can be tough, and sometimes even the opponents with low ratings can be difficult. But don't give up; you've come so far! I was pretty down in the dumps because of my ratings too, but I didn't give up and look now! The same will happen to you if you keep trying. So don't give up!
If you laid all the complaint threads end to end it would circle Uranus.
" Im done with chess. This is a stupid game." if it makes you feel any better, there's a GM sitting somewhere thinking the same thing.
You're right, Chess is stupid. It's WAY too serious and grumpy. But, I still play it because I enjoy it and am good at it. I don't take it very seriously, after all, it's still classified as a game.
Outer ring, complaint threads circling Uranus.

more than that i think we could peer back to the beginning of creation
You’ll play it and you’ll like it goddamn it
I feel for you. Hey, if you don't get any pleasure from the game, then quit. Life will go on. I promise. Remember also that lots of people cheat on chess.com, so many of your losses may be to them. I've gotten hundreds of points back from players that chess.com has identified as using engines. So don't take the losses so seriously. It's corny but true: it's just a game. (BTW, My rating oscillates between 1200 and 1650. Seriously. Doesn't matter to me in the least. I hope you can learn to feel the same way. Good luck.)
And my elo will grind into the ground.
