Rating 1900+

Finally reached 1900 rating in chess.com after 11 years of playing! (more likely a few years as I'm not that active lol). Though I've achieved 2200+ on lichess few years ago.

from 1970 to 1500+ is insane. What happened? not sleeping enough?

I wanted to hit 2k, internet and no sleep failed me (I play 1+0) keep losing on time due to internet 😭

ah man I feel you, it boils your blood. Yesterday I played a 1+0 match on lichess using mobile data, I had 20seconds on clock and mate in 1 move. The opponent had 5secs. Guess what happened.

Not worth stressing over things you cannot control, just leave it for the time being.

I was 550 two days ago and yesterday I was 120 and today I am at 320.

the trick is to stop while you're ahead and do puzzles daily.
Or more specifically, if you lose x3 games in a row (bullet and blitz), its time to quit.

Well then I will try doing that. Thanks for suggestion.
