What is wrong with me ?

Seriously, wtf ?

I play good for a fex weeks, then I lose ALL my games for the next few weeks, even when playing with much lower elo opponents.
It's not just that I don't see anything anymore, that I'm slower, dumber... it's also that thoses games I've played thousands times suddenly all happen differently, like THAT move that the opponents never do, they sudenly all do it, and that 1200 elo that loses all the time suddenly find that perfect combination that magnus himself didn't know...

Ok, I've just lost 100elo in 2 days, i can't win against people with 500elo less than me, and when I win, it's pure luck. Please tell me you also have those black months where you wouldn't defeat a blind dog. I'm so pissed, right now.

Almost couldn't find the mate to validate this message.

What's wrong with you is the fact that you're human, which means that you perform based on several human factors, such as emotions, mood, health, time etc.

Welcome to the club

You just need a couple of days off and do something besides chess when that happens xxx is what I find helps xxx just take a break , get some sleep xxx

@babachess ... I see no mentioning of Studying Chess ... Play Study Study Play ... Study Play Play Study

It's normal.

It could likely be one of the usual culprits: rest, diet, stress or just distraction.

I wonder how many newbies can't post because they can't find the mate. All they have to do is go one move deep. I think it keeps me sharp. Maybe on April 1 they should use harder puzzles.

It happens with everyone(no offence) even my rating drops once I reach a peak but then again I cross that peak and improve by almost a 100 elo. Like when I was 1600, I crossed 1680 then dropped back to 1580, then again I crossed 1700 and reached a peak of 1790 then dropped to 1680 and also reached 1820 but currently, I'm 1780. So in short, it happens to everyone...

Players r getting better with engine analysis...it's happen...you must work even harder...

I also had such a time 2 times. In the first time I played on till I could play well again and in the second time I took a two months long break and when I started playing again I had a surprising rating elevation.
