Well... finally hit 1000 bullet and then proceeded to lose the next 8 games.. dropping back down to 944.... chess is so brutal sometimes.
Why is it so hard to hit your target ELO
Sort:
Chess is always brutal 😅
Work on rapid first. Skill descends from the slower to the faster time controls.

This is obvious. When you get close, you get excited and nervous. Those are not good for your chess.
Bonus advice: don't write "ELO" in all caps, it's nonsense. It's not an acronym. It's the name of the guy who invented it:

I think it's because you have a high Elo you play with better persons and you lose. But don't be sad.

How do you y'all get momentum to hit your target ELO and keep going?
