It's not the games...I've actually cut about 140 off lately...But I'm getting worse with the fewer games I play.

Sometimes you have to just take a short break- like a week or two. Suddenly, when you come back, things just seem to "click". It's helped me.

Don't worry Josh, I've been playing poorly for about 3 months now. Just yesterday I dropped pieces in two different games against RedMike, a player against whom I usually have very interesting games.

At one point, I was decreasing my game load and my play started messing up. I entered a lot of tournaments and pop! My rating went back up!

It's just a slump. Get your game load back up where it belongs 😉 and you'll recover.

speaking of interest, what happened to your avatar?

you've hit 1900 here, almost one of the big boys, and you've dropped down to 1660. Just a bad run of luck, maybe, or have you been drinking a lot while playing?
