If improving leads to winning more...
and losing ELO leads to winning more...

Losing ELO is a sign of improvement!

I swear I'm not sandbagging, chess.com... I'm just really streaky!

Have you hit +/- 200 rating swings on more than one occasion?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's honestly pretty rare, but there have been times when I feel in the zone and climb a lot all at once, then drop again when I'm playing like normal or have poor focus.

Ahhh okay. Still that’s pretty amazing. Most people seem to just be stuck exactly where they are and only move in a narrow range. I think the streakiness shows you’re learning!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Let's go with that!
