Your Ratings Go Up Then Go Down Farther

ChessChess PersonalitiesOver the boardLichess
We all get frustrated when we get our ratings to our highest, but then they drop far below our old rating.

This is just a thing that happens. Some chess players don't have this rating rollercoaster thing happen to them as often, verses other people get it very frequently, it's just apart of the process. Its called growing, if we didn't have it happen to us we wouldn't get better at chess. "We don't lose, we learn." I just want to encourage you to keep with it even if you feel like you're not getting better, don't give up! I hope this helps other chess players to not get discouraged and give up with chess. Good luck!!
