I wonder if anyone has any advice or a similar experience. I've been playing chess since I was a kid but with long breaks in between so when I start playing again I am rusty but see steady improvement. I'm about a mid 1300s player. Recently I seemed to have turned a corner and was playing at a 1450-1500 level and quite confidently beating people in that range. Then all of a sudden I just lost it and now am struggling to beat players in 1200 range who I would routinely beat even before turning the corner. My tactics capabilities has dropped significantly as well. Does anyone have any tips?
