12 Game Losing Streak

Yes it is recoverable. Rating fluctations is normal in chess. You can try to focus on trying to improve the weakness you mention one by one. In my opinion you should start by asking yourself "how can I prevent hanging pieces?".

Well, we, 600s usually hang and blunder pieces. The problem is, we don't see it. Not only our own blunders or mistakes, but also our opponent's ones. So the one who commits the last blunder loses, right? How can I spot blunders? Not only mine, but also my opponent's? I mean, now after 1100 + rapid games, most of which are 20+0, I should have developed some sort of pattern recognition or board vision skill, right?

I appreciate that. Yes, it is unfortunate that I currently don't have any chess community within my reach. So, I have to try and utilize the online community support I can get as much as possible . Thanks again.

Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond…

Currently I am in another 9 game losing streak . My rating was around 750 three days ago and now it is around 630. I think I should stop now. I have very little idea what's wrong. Someone please tell me specifically what I can do to really improve rather than hitting the play button to lose every 3 out of 5 if not more.

If you get on a losing streak, just take a pause from chess. You are probably just tilted.

About the game you posted:

You won the game early because black gifted you a bishop. Now all you had to do was play solidly and trade black until all thats left is you with a minor piece and pawns - and black with nothing but pawns.

Instead you played anything but solidly. You gave away the bishop pair for what exactly ? And you didnt bother finishing development. And you allowed your king to get exposed. I especially dislike your move 18. What the hell was the queen doing in this part of the board ? You needed the queen to defend and attack.

The most important thing would be to not play games like this:

You bang out a move in every 3 seconds, no matter if it loses a pawn or a piece. What's the point? It was a 20 minute game. Use your time and think. Don't play random moves.

That seems to be a general pattern in your games. No time spent on finding moves.

General chess principles:

- King safety is always the primarily priority. If your king is in danger, everything else doesnt matter.

- If you have no obvious move (attack etc), try to identify your least active piece, and find a more active position for it.

- Dont make thoughtless pawn moves. Pawns can never move backwards. This shouldnt stop you from making good pawn moves of course, if you get a benefit. But dont just move a pawn because you have no better idea what to do.

- If an opponent piece enters your half of the board, make it a priority on getting rid of it.

Ah.First of all, Thank you very much. And you see it. When I spend time to find moves, I usually find poorer moves. It seems my reflex action is at least somewhat better than my thought process. I don't know. Even when I am winning, I don't know what I am doing right. I can't recognize patterns so I can't find moves even in familiar positions. I may fall in the same kind of traps again and again. And if my opponent comes up with an unfamiliar response, I am lost then and there. I can't even figure out my strengths, let alone weaknesses.

I think that when you see the unfamiliar response, don't be afraid to spend an extra minute of clock time asking yourself "what is the threat?" and "are any of my pieces hanging?"

Also, if you go back and game-review your games, try to remember the moment you said "oh great, I'm screwed" and then look at the position a move or two before that point. That's when you gotta train your instincts to recognize danger and spend your clock time.

I can only keep recommenting to do puzzles daily if you want to get better at tactics. This allows you for example to "see" common tactics almost effortlessly. It also awakens your mind to check for unusual moves.

A very simple introduction is to get for example the Lucas Chess R chess client which comes with many training data. One of them is mate in X. Just do the mate in one and then mate in two and maybe also mate in three and at least for me that already immensively helped to recognize such patterns in my games.

And lichess offers simple puzzles en masse. For really challenging puzzles you may want to try chesspuzzles.com and chesstempo.com.

Losing a few games in a row can make you emotional, causing rushed or frustrated moves.

Sorry to hear that. I made a playlist to help with exactly this! It's happened enough times that it was a needed playlist topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTXwNMbhsy4uh2e7swLXpYA-7_2AXTeF3
