      Went full tilt over the last week. Dropped from 1184 in bullet to 933…251 points. And ive played 2,787 bullet games total, so its not like my rating was inflated. Just a terrible week. Its like EVERY opponent knows exactly what is coming from my openings and im behind the 8-ball all game.

      • Then while I’m at my most frustrated and playing terribly, my higher-rated friend texts me and wants to play 3 in blitz (where I’m rated 1207) and he’s rated 1546.

        I win all 3 games, playing great chess.

        Chess is maddening 😂

        • Tell me about it ! Well done for beating your friend !

          • The craziest thing was that Chess.com rated the first two games I played against him at 90.1% (2100 rating) and 89.6% (2100 rating) respectively.
