I wouldn't be too concerned. But whatever you are currently doing, you definitely want to change it up!
Ratings?
often times, after acquiring new information, i'll spike a hundred or two in one direction. once your brain figures it out and integrates all the new stuff with the old stuff in a manner that it can make sense of, your rating will definitely start climbing again. :)
Yes. A hundred point dip means you're doing heroin. Of course, heroin is a gateway drug
Who knows, maybe I'll get hooked on something as potent as chess next. Wait a minute...


Although I'm not obsessed with my rating, should I be concerned about a hundred point dip? The irony is that lately, spent most of my time reading books instead of playing blitz, since the books won't ever read themselves (and have been sitting there for quite awhile!).
