Just reached 1400 blitz and am feeling ready to take on magnum, ding, and the ghost of bobby Fischer all at once, blindfolded.
Literally unstoppable right now, don't even talk to me 😤
― H.P, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:15 (eight months ago) link
Was sitting high 1300's went 2-13 to get myself down to a nice 1200's figure again, then the next day pull a 14-15 streak to get a new top rating. My brain literally just chooses each day whether it can play chess or not. Streaky as hell
― H.P, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:19 (eight months ago) link
nice re the pb, feel like spend most of yr time in about 100pt range is pretty normal with occasional visits to above or below, and of course the midpoint is subject to change too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:42 (eight months ago) link
tho the other day i looked at this guys graph cause he was higher rated than me but id beat him seven out of seven, and his swings were all over the place veering wildly two three hundred points, maybe he drinks idk
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:43 (eight months ago) link
I get caught chasing the rabbit after a loss. The next game is all about making up for the previous one, so I'm not completely focussed. It then snowballs until I finally give up and give my brain a refresh. Thankfully I am not a gambler, I would have all my money sucked dry in a day
― H.P, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:53 (eight months ago) link
I think 200-300 swings maybe more common the lower the rating, definitely rarer when swinging that much within a the 4-digit rating range
― H.P, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 00:54 (eight months ago) link
the big swing guy was at like 1750 iirc
