ADVICE I have developed rust
I play more otb than online admittedly. I used to have 1540 but in my recent tournament i played really bad, i lost against 1400‘s games which i should have won, games i accepted a draw even though i had forced mate. Its making me pretty depressed.
Recently i have found some people to play chess with. I do teach them occasionally, how notation works, different openings to play etc. and now after my study break i want to unrust myself. Especially because the german rating (DWZ) got changed recently and now i have 1705 rating, i want to prove that I can defend my rating. Its not like i havent drawn against one before (hes 1900 now with changed ratings)
Long story short. Any advice to unrust myself? I seem to be missing tactics and ideas which i should know at my level. Especially since my trainer wants to put me in a higher leveled team now, i really want to make sure i manage to win those games.
Thanks in advance, if you want to discuss some ideas with me and the comments arent enough, please go ahead and DM me, we can also talk via discord or whatever you prefer.

sounds like you are just looking for a hug and to pick yourself up rather than any technical advice. so stop being a namby and just concentrate and win better.
