What to do after a bad losing streak?


I once lost 6 rapid games in a row because I was playing too quickly, I basically just wanted a quick win.

for me I would research different strategies and then after researching I would play your level bots until they are mastered.

Keep playing!!!!!!!!!!!
You should just take a break. Then keep playing.

Keep swinging through the slump. Think about what you are doing wrong. Repair it and swing again.
Alternately, go fishing or hike in the woods.

what i like to do is take a long walk, then when I come back I play some unrated games to "warm up" without worrying about losing elo. then once I am ready I play rated rapid
Experiencing a bad losing streak can be a frustrating and demoralizing experience, especially if you have invested a lot of time and effort into a particular activity or game. However, there are several steps you can take to help you recover and get back on track

You're fatigued. Take a break and do something else for a while. I've been struggling with the same thing.

Whenever you lose a game, stop playing and analyse it first. That prevents mental tilt. It also channels the negative emotions of the loss towards a positive goal: improving.
Pretty sensible, and a good way to make a necessary pause.


I also try and implement a new rule for myself: Don't play unless you have slept enough, eaten a high fat/high protein meal (not carbohydrates, I can't think after eating stodge) , exercised, drunk enough water and had some caffeine.
Otherwise, I just get the blunders, and I get progressively more and more annoyed with myself.
No one needs to be around me when I'm in a bad mood because I'm tilted.

met a few like you, but I must fess that I, too, am a slow resigner.
