Why am I playing so terribly?

You should not expect any sympathy playing 584 games. Your problems are self induced - you know what to do to get rid of the problem. I would personally PM your 584 opponents and ask them to spend a minimum of 30 minutes per move looking for ways to win.

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

I somewhat doubt its that you play better with more games.....


its just that for every game you lose, you manage to win 2.

Yeah, that is the problem. I'm just curious as to why I'm playing as badly as when I first joined the site and could barely get to the 1600's. Normally I just blunder away a few games in my slumps, nothing that big, maybe dropping 50 points or so. I've dropped more than 100 this time, and faster than I usually do. And if you're wondering why I'm curious about this since I'm playing 579 games: I had about 700 going for around a year, and haven't slumped this bad. So, shouldn't I then, with 700 games, slump worse than I do with 580, if the game load is the problem?

If you think I was looking for sympathy, good for you. I had more of a post the first time around, but edited it to what it is so people would leave it alone and let it die, because, I was just ranting.

And you should work on your math skills, I'm playing something closer to 300 opponents, or have you forgotten how clan challenges, leagues and tournaments work?

Stupid troll.

I've been playing badly as well. Are you a Taurus?

Only playing 300 opponents? Perhaps you should make that to 1000 opponents with most of those 1/0 then your problem will be more or less apparent.

While your at it take less than 5 seconds per game and tell us what happens.

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

losing to DutchDefence is more than "teh suck", it's "the shame of the century"
