      Started this course when I was just shy of 1200 and I’ve fallen to 950 since- is this normal? I love the course content and it’s definitely been helpful, but feeling discouraged and would love to hear other people’s thoughts/experiences!

      • Nelsi Kind of adresses this in the course. It’s a bit like relearning new habits

        Try some longer timed games. I go by 15+10 at the moment. Maybe go 30min.

        • @superbilk Ah i guess that’s in the last module? haven’t gotten there yet i’ve been trying to take my time and go in order. i may break progression in that case

        • Yeah. Stay calm, do the basics.

          • It can be normal. If you’re thinking about more things during the games and getting into time trouble, then that could definitely happen. Or if you are using new openings but haven’t gotten familiar with them yet. If I was in your shoes, I’d analyze my last 10-20 losses very carefully and write down the main reason you lost in each of the games. Try to find a pattern and that might be a clue what’s going on.

            • For far too long I oscillate, it’s normal..
