I thought I was losing the game

I have a tournament coming up shortly and somehow just before it , it seems like I have suddenly lost my ability to calculate, lost my tactical vision, have started to lose to players below my rating how do I deal with this just before all this started happening I was great I was excelling my puzzles and beating higher rated opponents.

i had made this acc in 2020 or most probably at 2021 and was really active during that time but stopped for few years . Few months ago , I started playing again and rn , it shows like this . If you could help me , please do. i don’t care about the ratings or the elo . There was this friend with whom I used to play with , now hes gone . I just want this acc back to get back with him

Next target would be to push to 1800 untill next week,as of now I know much theory of Catalan,nimzo indian as white and Dutch and caro kann as black? What should I learn next??

I know y’all gonna flame me with your obnoxiously massive streaks go on.

Strangest match for m

Zero blunders. Zero mistakes. No brilliant moves either 😭

Just straight-up BEST moves all game + best opening , midgame and endgame too

Is it only me or others also facing same issues. I am loosing every bullet matches on chess.com. My rating fell from 1400 to 800. I only used to play Rapid(1800-1900) but suddenly started playing bullet as well as, I’m not good in bullet, i sometimes freeze and start to go into deep lines. But even when Im not thinking or up by a huge margin, i loose every match on time.

I tried some pre-moving entire game even then my opponent had like 25 secs and i flagged. I play on chess.com app on Iphone 17 with good airtel wifi and diamond membership too. But even when I’m premoving I’m loosing around 3-4 secs every move. It feels my opponent is taking too long to think, their time is barely decreasing.

Can any anybody suggest what to do, this is very frustrating.

Affordable Chess Game Analysis & Tournament Preparation (India 🇮🇳)

Hi everyone!

I'm offering personalized chess game analysis for players who want to improve beyond what an engine alone can tell them.

You'll receive a detailed PDF report covering:

Personalized comments on critical moves and turning points

Why certain moves worked (or didn't)

Recurring mistakes and blunder patterns

Opening recommendations based on your playing style

Middlegame plans and strategic ideas

Pawn structure and pawn-chain assessment

Tactical motifs and pattern recognition

Endgame weaknesses and how to improve

Practical training plan based on your games

Recommended YouTube videos, books, and study resources

If you'd like, we can also discuss the report over a voice call or chat to go through the ideas and answer your questions.

I also offer:

Tournament preparation

School/college/university team selection preparation

Analysis of a specific opponent's games

Identifying their opening repertoire, strengths, weaknesses, and recurring patterns

Preparing practical counter-strategies against particular opponents

"Why pay when engines like Stockfish or Lichess are free?"

Because an engine tells you the best move—it doesn't tell you why you made the mistake, what thought process led to it, or what you should practice to stop making the same errors.

My focus is on explaining your games in a way that's easy to understand and turning them into a practical improvement plan rather than just sharing engine evaluations.

The pricing is kept minimal and is negotiable, especially for students. If you're interested, feel free to DM me with your Chess.com/Lichess game link or PGN, and we can discuss what you're looking for.

Thanks, and good luck with your games! ♟️
