I have lost 18 of my last 20 rapid games and dropped from close to 1300 to well below 1200 and counting.

Why am I suddenly playing so poorly? It’s so disheartening to never get a win that I’m considering quitting chess. I’m just not enjoying it anymore when I seem to only get worse and never improve.

Sorry to be such a buzzkill. Does anybody have suggestions? If nothing productive comes of this, I think I’m giving up on chess for good.

I have a fantastic suggestion. Stop playing today. Go for a walk, have some food, watch a show, relax yourself, get good sleep tonight, and after you have breakfast tomorrow and get a bit of exercise you can see how you do

Sometimes you just can’t make your brain work how you want it to. Those times you just need to call it quits and wait for a reset.
