Blitz?
I've lost 9 in a row.
But I don't take blitz very seriously.

Yeah, you'd have to remember the day, hour, minute, and second. Not likely to remember that.

I recall a time in the late '70s or early '80s when I lost in both round #1 and round #2 of five tournaments in a row. For comparison, I usually placed in the top three in nearly every local tournament. For me, at that time, starting EVERY tournament with two consecutive losses counted as a horrible losing streak.

I recall that as well

Can't remember the last time you lost Vlad, how about you look at your last 10 games, 2 wins 8 losses you must have a really bad memory.

     9 losses in a row at blitz.  Now I think that if I lose 3 games in a row, I should take a break, walk around the house for a bit, watch TV for a bit, before going back to the chessboard. 

     Playing losing game after losing  game without a break leads to a self-defeating cycle IMHO.

     Just thinking.....

     When I lose I get upset and when I get upset I don't think rationally and so it is better for me to take a break if I lose 3 games in a row.
