You must because you are here running your mouth
Rating and tactics

You ever think it may be because no one has an answer? Ever thought that most are not ranked high enough to have experienced this phenomenon? But I have posted the same post in 'Help and Support' and received a great answer/solution. What I find pathetic is how someone who is supposed to be ranked in their 2000's comes to a blog to type in stupid comments such as yourself. If you didn't find the post worthy then why not just keep your mouth shut and move on? Don't you have a rating to go doctor?

Trolls need to be executed in guillotine fashion. I think the tactics trainer rating is more reliable than the turn based rating. Some opponents in turn based games lose because they make one crazy move after a long break. That may have contributed to an increase in your turn based rating. The tactics trainer, hard to cheat on, must be paid more attention to.

MyRook is asking for an answer to his question. He is not asking for stupid remarks. I do not have an answer to his question but hopefully someone does have the answer.

Some opponents in turn based games lose because they make one crazy move after a long break.
And some opponents win because they can take vast amounts of time for each move, and having breaks between the moves actually makes them more focused.
The tactics trainer, hard to cheat on, must be paid more attention to.
Not really. Copy position to engine, tada.

The Question is not that rmurray..The question is..Why is that when one area is improved the other suffers? Why does this mainly happen to me when I have past my plateau and I am reaching a higher level over all? Within 30 days I will be back to 2300 range in my tactics but It seems to drop every time I am about to make a step up. Maybe it is the change in thought patterns...I am not sure. This has happened to me off and on for three years now. BTW,, You're not going to do tactics training because we know why..You couldn't make it past 1600
When my over all game improves my tactics rating suffers momentarily.
It is not that I am worried about getting back to good because I will actually surpass my last tactics ceiling.
If anyone can explain this please do so..Thx

Your Point? What?

Serious Answer: It happens probably because you've become elated and thus perhaps a bit over confident. Thus you make faster, albeit, over confident moves in the tactics quest - a natural phenomenon. Like when you gain extra material in a game, you suddenly are over confident and make inferior moves. As in a game, where after gaining material, you must calm down, buckle down and act like you're behind and play tougher/smarter/perhaps more cautiously.
Another theory: Maybe your positional game is just getting better (have you been studying this?) and you've been concentrating more on it and middle and end games, while slacking a bit on the tactics. (this has been happening to me too - praticing openings, middle game, positional game and neglecting the tactics)
It seems that every time my Turn-base rating goes up my tactical rating goes down drastically.I've noticed this happens when I am about to heighten my learning curve . It seems that my tactical rating would maintain the same or even rise but it drops dramatically. I was ranging in the 2300's for quite some time with a turn -base rating around 2000. Now my turn base rating is 2095 and my tactical rating is in the 1900's!! This happens every single time I am fixing to improve but I just do not understand it. Does anyone know why or even how this could happen..Any theories?
