Is it normal to lose 150 rating points in a session?
Sort:
Hi. Ratings fluctuate all the time like that, and there is no need to worry. Also, there’s regression to the mean. Whenever you play a good game and get rating points, you’re likely to lose the next one, statistically. And vice versa. Don’t worry.
It is actually, you are a human and even if your level is 900 you cant play like a 900 all the time, there are going to be good days and bad days, just like like, I was 1975 recently and almost went to 1780 thats loosing almost 200 points, it happen to all of us, if you want I am giving a free lesson, just message me
I'm not that good, still learning. I hover around 850 it seems, but some days I'll have a good day like today where I went all the way up to 930, and then not long after, I plummeted down to below 800. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this normal? I really don't know, and my concern is I have some sort of learning disability, or maybe I'm just getting old. How could I play well and gain all those rating points, then lose them all? How could I play badly so shortly after playing so well? Is it mental fatigue? Thanks for any help!
