Losing tons of games
Sort:
No. You are the only one who has ever lost before. No one who has ever played chess has ever lost before. Shame on you for even thinking you're remotely as good at chess as anyone else on this site. I suggest you quit chess immediately to save yourself the pain of being the biggest and only loser chess has ever known.
lol
I'm not a loser, I'm a bozo.

It happens when I play too much or for too long a session. At some point, especially when I am playing blitz, my moves become fairly automatic and I calculate/strive for accuracy less and less. I have stopped playing very long sessions and found that I spot things much better during the games that I do play and my rating has gone up as a result. It could be that you are just having a bad streak or you might have your own issue with the way you play that is holding you back.

Absolutely, this is online chess. Only when I play OTB do I get a good idea of my progress. I consider online chess just practice. My advice is to totally ignore the ratings.
I've started losing most games I play, going down from blitz rating of over 1400 to under 1200. The thing is though, I feel like I'm losing to players I'm better than, but I'm just not doing as well as I should. Has this happened to anyone else?
Dr ChessOfPlayer:
What you are experiencing is called a chess slump. Look it up (bitch about it) on the forums for further information (solace) --- https://www.chess.com/forum/search?keyword=slump
Cure: The only way to beat this madness is to ride through it with a positive attitude. Play more games!
