So I started playing chess 220 days ago based on my streak at around 300 elo. Today I finally hit my goal! I run Italian game for white , and caro kann/ scandanvian for black.
Help me understand. How was hanging his queen a better play lol. I’m just doing a eval on my game, and it preferred my opponent hang his queen to block a mate vs moving the pawn up like he did. I’m just thinking “ I would’ve never done that”.
I knew I’d lose a piece regardless, so i chose to lose my bishop instead and the Eval bar went nuts.
Played right into the best variation too. Ignore the elo. I need any win I can get
My puzzle rating vs my in game rating is outrageous. My floor is so low.
I’ve been playing chess for 2 months consistently, and I have swings generally which is fine. The last few days i have lost so many games after peaking at a very competitive 620+ ( a joke obviously). I can’t do anything right and I’ve plummeted back to 500. I know that I’m not playing protégés and I’m making bad decisions ofc. But how do you stop the bleed? I see good moves in game review but what are you guys doing when you’re lost in game? I am in shambles.
