Hey guys! I dropped below 1750 because I wasn't really playing well and I was quite tired the last few days. But I won't be discouraged!
So, I dropped below 1750. And that was my exact goal for this year, and now in just 2 days I dropped 30 rating points. Time to get discouraged? Of course not! Because I want to teach all of you an important lesson: if "tilting" is in your chess vocabulary and you get discouraged, then you will only lose more rating points and get more frustrated. But how you SHOULD handle it is to be assured of the fact that you are still as strong as before, and actually, you will gain your rating points back faster. Not only that, but you actually become a stronger chess player by using this attitude.
PS The topic selection may seem weird, but I did this because it's about getting better at chess, but it's also off topic in a certain degree.
