I have. I’m just learning too. My friend said chess growth happens in plateau and peaks. He said keep playing but when you move ask “Why am I making this move?” Sounds simple but it helped me. I’m just closing in on 1100 and excited to keep learning and growing. Stay at it!
Hi, I'm having a very confusing period, over the last year I have been getting slowly better and better, a very slow.. but consistent improvement... however I have just totally forgot how to play chess, I can't explain it but I've dropped like nearly 500 in ranking from 1350 ish down to 1100.
I have no clue how I could have totally forgot how to play chess, but I suddenly feel like everyone I play is a legit genius, and am getting destroyed by players I used to beat so easily.
Anyone else experienced this? So frustrated as chess was a big part of my life over the last year and something I really enjoyed so it's quite sad to think I've lost it to such a harsh degree.
