Detach yourself mentally from your or your opponent's "rating".

If all you're doing is playing for a rating, it becomes a serious grind and won't be fun anymore.

This line of thinking is why so many young men in particular - struggle with life.

You have to know where you rank in any situation, know what you have to do to move up, and work relentlessly to attain that move upwards.

You need to be honest with yourself about where you rank, and ELO tells you that you are not good, well, you are not good. Identify what needs to be done to improve, one thing at a time, and see that measurement improve.

Thats not just chess, its life.

You know what’s funny that little kid that crashed out on me still hasn’t responded even though he has been online.

I agree. I'm 1300 and my games in that rating is just there but when I drop to 1299, that's when I get really really serious. It's probably the urge to get to 1300 that makes them/us good

im 1300 now sui but i bet I'm gonna go back down pretty soon

Nice

1200s literally do the same thing every game. Opposite side castle, trade off any fianchettoed bishops and bush random pawns on your king.

BECAUSE THERE not actually 1200, their closer too 1600, and so on. This site is full of fake beginners. Nearly everyone here has years of play and or professional play or are lightly cheating with a engine. Just like they use engine for 1 or 2 very important moves, so its impossible to detect, so the honest player will lose. Its toxic here and most of the players are also toxic..."

Once upon a time, cheating meant that people with low ability would use engines to get high scores. Now it means people with high (but not great!) ability are trying to be low rated so that they can feel like they are winning all the time. So strange.
