humans are not very consistent players and your playing strength can vary a lot. for me i usually vary by 100 points, but it seems liek you are varying by 200-300 points.
Crazy ranking?

This is weird. I will preface this by stating that I do not consider myself a good chess player. I'm getting old and forgetful and I even miss glaring opportunities to take a free queen. It's like I have chess blind spots. Ok, with that out of the way, maybe someone can help me understand why one day my ranking here will be in the 1300s playing against sharp opponents and a week or two later, I'm slaying 1500 rating players with a rating of 1500, even 1600 of my own. Then a week or a month later, I'm getting my butt whooped by deadly 1300 players again to be dropped down into the 1300s once more and so one. It's a weird cycle. Either I experience brain fog and then regain my old sharp, clarity, relapse into another brain fog, and so on, or something weird is happening here. Is anyone experiencing something similar? Thanks.
