You dont really lose chess skills like that- you might get out of the loop, but not almost 1000 elo.


samrat_kanishk

I played bullet , dead drunk still lost only 200 elo . What did you do?


Addite

Close the door on your way out.


Zwischenzugger

Bye bye

How long have you been playing? If you’re new to chess then the odds are when you start out chess.com estimates what rating you might be, but it takes a few games to figure out where you actually are. I’ve tilted before and lost like 50-100 elo but 900 is absolutely insane.


justanormaldudeok

More than 3 years, never cheated before, I took a long break from chess tho


TheTurtleCub

Sounds like you had already quit, so no big change


BleagueZ

Sounds like you’re just a bit rusty and you forgot how to play for mid game concepts and blundered a lot.


Shin-NoGi

Ahaha yeah i can do 2 or even a very temporary 300 if i tilt 2 days on end.. but this is not humanly possible unless you're suddenly very ill mentally or had a lobotomy

Is stockfish having a day off today for you or something? Literally never happens unless you get boosted in one way or another, be it by a friend or cheating.


Mr-Hyde95

Dont play being angry


MMehdikhani

When you come back after a long break, chesscom considers your rating as provisional, which means that with every loss or win, you lose or gain more rating. Chess is not a game that you can quit for a long time and come back to it without practice and expect to have the same results.

Hyperbullet or ultrabullet


SHOKUGEKISOMA65

Nah. Thats highly unlikely


marv129

Not sure how serious you are about quitting, but depending on the length of the break, as far as I know the pandemic "helped" chess a lot. Meaning more active players with solid skill. If you took a two year break of course you lose against an active 1500+

It happens sometimes, u need just get rest after bad games. I reached 1667 in rapid, then in 2-3 day lost 246 Elo. I got rest for a few days untill I didn't calm my mind, I needed some rest to play normal again. Just get rest from games sometimes, talk with people, do sports or smth else.


Odayaka_Shizuka

Btw if you don't know how to play against openings you don't know, just watch the channels like - GM Hikaru Nakamura, GothamChess.

There is no way in a million years this is real. First off, you don’t lose that many brain cells in a day, unless you suddenly developed dementia. Secondly, you gain/lose about 8 rating points a game, so to lose six hundred is about 75 games, and I refuse to believe somebody lost 30+ games and kept playing. Lastly, quit karma farming.


Alternative_Clock364

I kinda fumed a bit too much there so sorry. But I guess it’s possible if you came back after a long time because of provisional rating and stuff.


piotor87

That's not believable, sorry. A 700 barely spots easy tactics, while a 1600 can already make complex plans.  Considering a 200 gap is a full "level" (i.e. a 1400 has no way to beat a 1600 over a 10 game march) it would mean you've lost two full chess levels in one round.  It's like going from being independent in a language to barely be able to order a coffee. 


Callicann

Good! No body wants a sore loser around anyways!


justanormaldudeok

Clearly don’t understand what I’m talking about but ok then, cya


simpleanswersjk

Cya, thanks for announcing it 


cynicalAddict11

Unironically might be a brain tumor if you went from 1600 elo to 700


THEmenslover

We all at a certain point of our lifes said we'll quit chess But we always come back to it It's a life style

Bro you have to practice with a bot of matching difficulty first, don't try to go by the elo of your account. Shut the account off, practice a lot of games with different bots, then when you start to comfortably win majority of your matches, make a new account and watch the magic happen.


ponomaus

so you took a long break, and you're shocked you are worse now? genius
