If you check on my old account @achessplayer2000 you will see that my past 6 rapid games were all loses and that my performance dropped drastically. I had a nice overall win rate at around 55%-10%-35% but my recent win rates were only like 40%-60%.
Why am I playing so bad all of a sudden?

They were all silly mistakes, I saw all your games, improve your middle game and you’ll be fine, improve tactics, use something like chess lay to brush up

You've only played 11 Rapid games and 6 Blitz games on this account and it takes about 30 games in any time control for an accurate rating.

Ya but on my old account I played over 200 games and I started dropping drastically.
anyways thank you guys for the help! I will just be taking a short break from chess about a week or so.
Long story short: I used to be much better at chess before I made this account. I used to play at around 1150 elo but now all of a sudden I'm only playing at around 950-1050 elo. This started happening around 2 weeks ago and I don't know why. It was so sudden. One moment I was on a hot streak and reached 1179 elo before I dropped all the way to 1080 elo on the exact same day. Then I made this account and closed my other one to try and see what my current elo would be now. My other account was named @achessplayer2000 and no it was not closed because of cheats, I closed it myself. I tried stopping for about 5 days but when I came back the exact same thing happened. Does anybody know what to do. If you do I would really appreciate it if you shared your tips on getting back to your original elo.
