Recently, I am just losing games. My rating has dropped for 70 points. In all of these games I blunder. And I blunder a lot.

Why does this happen?

Do you just stop playing for a few days?

Yes, will happen to everyone take a few days to a week off and just look over your games and see where you could have improved and play over lines with yourself or a friend with those better moves.

Take a break, sometimes you get stale.

Regroup, refresh. Switch to analysis mode. Find out why you dropped.

It's called a slump.  They keep asking why it happens even if they already know.  They just want someone to talk to.  Bitch about it.
