you need to change your perspective, why are you playing chess?

If you really care a lot about your rating, set yourself a rule to stop or play unrated games if you lose three games in a row to allow you to clear your head.

But there’s little point really - you’ll soon make any lost points from a poor run back as you find your true level: form is temporary, class is permanent

A 1650 doesn’t blunder you sure your rating is right

Whenever you lose a game, stop playing and analyse it first.

I'm winning most of the games I play but I do blunder And, from there its all going down. I get the mistake as soon as I move the pieces. I should shift to 20 min, I really need more time to think.

stop playing chess for a little bit

how does that help?

Avatar of Chess_Player_lol

when you are in the wrong mindset and angry about your other games you lose, you make mistakes because your mind is in a different place, I recommend you go outside for 10-15 minutes and try not to think about chess during that time.

+1

but people usually wanna play another one immidiately.. thinking "if i win this time i will compansate my loss.."

rating is seen as a measurement of social status. losing feels like losing respect. therefore people try to recover lost ratings quickly. but it is a vicious cycle.. 

because you lose because lack of knowledge.. not because you are a bad person. and you need to study to increase your knowledge.

Just stop playing until the next day when your head will clear.

If you send people abuse in the chat and press Alt+F4 on your keyboard a lot, this tends to work. This is not a behavioural recommendation nor is it financial advice. I am just an ape. draw.pngdiamond.pngdraw.png
