Lost 300 elo in a few weeks

I don't know how much longer this will go on for. I am consistently losing and losing and losing. I feel like I have forgotten everything. I can't believe I was just 1900 a few weeks ago and now I'm a literal 1600. I do not know what's going on. I studied extensively, my rating decreased, I took a break and came back and my rating still keeps going down. I have never seen such a big downfall before. Why is this happening? I have tried every single thing, nothing's working. 

your graph shows you are almost in the same spot where you were in april. yellow bars show you had downfalls before..

my opinion; your rating is just not stable. you might have liked 19hundreds but you don't belong there yet.

I don't think that's true though. If you look at my games I will make like 20 best moves and have an advantage, but then I'll throw away the advantage in one move or just get into time pressure. But yes I do understand I do have to study and analyze more

Just play and play and play. It’s kinda like a plateau and once you have played enough games you will get out of it. Rating doesn’t matter too much online it is more about the practice and fun so just try to enjoy playing and not worry about the Elo. You could also try playing unrated to take the stress of.

Your rating is your rating. Stop worrying about it. You are not currently performing at a 1900 level in your games. That is all your rating tells you. It doesn't mean your studies have been for naught. It doesn't mean you're inferior. It means nothing at all except that your recent performance hasn't been good. You still have all of the same tools in your kit you did when you reached 1900, you just aren't able to use them to that level currently. There could be any myriad of reasons for this. Just relax and play the game. If you're steadily improving, one day you will fall 300 points from 2200 to 1900 but maybe by then, you won't be so stressed about it.

It’s just regression to the mean and then an over correction.

Normally when people hit an all time high (excluding fast improving players) they’ve just been on a good run and their new high rating doesn’t reflect their true strength (yet).

So then they start regressing back to where they actually should be and they take the fact they’re dropping as a sign that something is going wrong; it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and they end up regressing more than they actually should as their focus has become about their rating not their chess.

Forget about worrying about it and ‘trying every single thing’ to dig yourself out of the hole, just play your games and you will be back to where you belong - probably about 1750-1800 range.

I think that 1800 is a very significant milestone. It is in my opinion, the first meaningful rating and is the start of a different level of understanding. It goes beyond tactical and things like appreciating that the value of pieces is not absolute and position sacrifices play a bigger part.

I bounced around that mark for quite a while when I was learning and it was a long time before I stayed permanently above it. The nice thing is that once I had, my rating marched again.

I have a similar thing now. I set myself a target of 2300 which is another milestone and IM (although chess.com ratings are hugely inflated). I have touched it a couple of times but at the moment, can't imagine being able to stay above it.

Most important thing - always analyse your games and understand where you are losing and also look at your opening statistics because I found that some of the openings I liked the most were only scoring 30%.

Remind yourself of your previous successes and that slumps are part of the learning process.

Sometimes f you train or study to much your rating can decrease due to processing the information or burn out. Usually when you try a bunch of new things (it can be not always ) at first cause you to lose more games as you are learning the game

As long as your learning from your losses don't worry about it but tilt happens your probably severely tilted just focus on trying to relax when you play the game and (hopefully ) win rate will go back up

Actually I tilt 24/7 XD but then again I play chess 24/7

Not just that but if your losses are one move blunders in conversion and time pressure you might wanna rethink your time management and try to apply time pressure to your opponents instead

I don't really recommend this but for some people bullet is really good for time management since you sorta stop playing too fast or too slow tilt typically makes me play slower to and g you just hit 1900 you probably around 1800 ish but could 100% eventually get back to 1900 like I hit 2300 and dropped down to 2000 lol then went back up to 2300 then went down to 2200 so it happens to a lot of people focus on figuring out what your doing wrong and you should be good (hopefully you don't get stuck )
