Chess is so mental…About 3 weeks ago (immediately after finishing the course, i dropped 283 rating points in 7 days (1184 down to 901). My head had too much new info i hadnt absorbed and i was trying to add it all at once. Was SO frustrated. Then…it started to feel more natural again. Ive almost recovered.

Yeah your level of confidence plays a huge role! Also try to avoid playing tired.

You nailed it. This is so true.
I switched from playing most of my games at night (when I’m most free) to playing my games in the morning before work and then again during my lunch break and it’s made a huge difference with focus.
Now I use nights to study chess instead. If I play at night with a friend, I only play unrated games after 8 pm
