What's your biggest tilt, and how did you get over it? or If u arer tilting right now

 
 
 
 
 
As a large language model, I don't have emotions, so I can't experience "tilt" in the way a human does. The term "tilt" comes from poker and refers to a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting from anger.

I can, however, encounter what could be considered a form of "tilt" when I receive a prompt that is unclear, ambiguous, or contains conflicting instructions. This can lead to a less than optimal response, but it's not due to an emotional state. It's more like a logical puzzle with missing or contradictory pieces.

I've been trained to handle these situations by:

Asking for clarification: If a user's request is unclear, I can ask them to provide more information or rephrase their question.
Making a best-effort interpretation: If I can't ask for clarification, I'll try to use context and my understanding of language to make an educated guess about what the user wants.
Providing multiple options: Sometimes, if a prompt is ambiguous, I'll provide a few different responses based on different interpretations of the user's intent.

Oh wow, so looks like I am replying to an AI.

Anyways, my rating in Rapid:

1. 600 -> 820

2. 820 -> 820 (Stopped Playing, Only Focused on Blitz and Bullet)

3. 820 -> 999 (I learned that you should play Rapid)

4. 999 -> 800 (Tilt Phase 1)

5. 800 -> 800 (Didn't Play)

6. 800 -> 1090s (Wow, huge jump)

7. 1090s -> 980 (Tilt Phase 2)

8. 980 -> 1070 (Recovery in Action...)

ALL OF THAT IN UNDER 4 MONTHS!

Looking at my rapid graph, it seems my biggest tilt (not including anything before 2019 because I didn't actively play rapid then) was dropping from my then-peak of 2148 down to around 1980. I've had over 100-point tilts several times in rapid, but that one seems to be the biggest by a small amount.

I often see people suggest taking a break if you start to tilt and then coming back after a few days or so. I used to give and follow the same advice. However, I no longer agree with it (although there are some rare exceptions where I believe it is a good idea).

I have a friend who used to be an extremely active rapid player from 2017 to around 2023. Because of how much he played, he would go on tilt regularly. Instead of taking a break, he would simply play through the tilt. Since he played so much, he would recover in a relatively short amount of time, and almost invariably come back higher rated than he was before the tilt ever happened.

Perhaps the most notable example of this was when he was around 2050 in the year 2020, where he then proceeded to drop all the way down to 1650(!) because he was working on a new opening repertoire. It took a while for him to adjust, but after a month or so of studying and lots of rapid games, he recovered and jumped all the way to 2150.

He continued to improve in this fashion, and is now a FIDE CM.

Early this year, I decided to start taking the same approach, and I instantly found myself improving faster. I am a relatively slow improver (and improvement is typically even slower the higher you get), but I went from hovering in the low 2200s to breaking 2400 in about five months when I started doing this. Outside of other minor changes, the main thing I did differently was to play rapid very consistently and stop taking breaks altogether when things go downhill. I have simply found that improvement comes faster if you play through the tilt.

Sorry for the long post -- my main suggestion for breaking through tilt is to keep playing consistently through it. You very possibly will drop more in rating, but this only brings you more experience, and when you start to jump again, you'll probably find yourself jumping above what you were ever able to reach before the tilt happened.

why is everyone writing essays bro

Fr though, last time I wrote a essay it was on string theory and it took forever- this is just a forum why are people writing full essays here?

There is no real secret.
It's depend on how you can handle yourself, if you're rather stubborn, I would advise to stop playing and do something else because you will not be able to play better afterwards and if you continue playing, you will crash out.
I would advise stopping playing if you can.

My bullet tilt lasted a few days, from 1950 peak to like 1600

And rapid i have a bunch of small tilts always.

PLAY UNRATED FOR 2 WEEKS, AFTER THAT, YOUR ELO WILL ROCKET!

I tilt a lot in bullet, but in blitz and rapid it is a lot more stable. Biggest tilt of mine is 300 points in bullet.
