Is it normal to have a win streak around 30-50 ?

In normal conditions it's impossible to have more than 5-6 win streak. Even if you play only much weaker opponents you can achieve 10-12. Above 20 is pure cheating.

Impossible? I think it's not only possible but happens frequently. In my case, my win streaks range from 10 in rapid to 17 in blitz; bullet and ultra are 12 and 14 respectively. And I don't cheat. My losing streaks are lower than my winning streaks in rapid and blitz but in bullet and ultra they are nearly twice as long. I usually play tourneys too, so my opponents can be rated much lower or much higher than me.

I think sometimes you are in the flow and sometimes you aren't. Best way to raise your rating is probably to stop playing if you lose 3 games in a row but to play as long as you can when you are winning. (I can't seem to follow that advice though.)

Blitz and especially bullet does not even count.

If you are winning all the time in rapid or classical you are way underrated. It's impossible to win with players of your own level 15 times in a row. Doesn't matter if you had a rich breakfast, if it's sunny or rainy. Just no.

Why wouldn't blitz or bullet count? That's ridiculous.

And it isn't at all impossible to win or lose 15 times in a row with players of your own level. Good days and bad days. Ratings fluctuate because people's quality of play fluctuates. You can be rated 1600 and play like 1300 one day and 1900 another.

Weird you'd call something impossible when it actually happens. As I said, you should look at losing streaks too.

Evetybody knows that bullet is not real chess.

Your thinking is wrong. What is a good day and a bad day? You are always the same person. The brain doesn't grow and collapse periodically. Even if what you said was true and you had some mental disorder going from a genius to moron on a weekly cycle it still impossible to win all games. How many classical games could you play during a day? One, two , maybe three if you had a day off. You never know if you are on a genius or moron peak and it destroys your wininng streak completely. Thank you and goodbye.

Your thinking is wrong. WTF are you even talking about. Does every athlete perform at the same level every day? No. Is it because their muscles grow or collapse periodically? No. People don't perform with the consistency you seem to think they do or should.

Also, it isn't about being a genius or moron.... chess isn't so correlated with intelligence as you seem to think it is. It's a skill like any other. Some have a natural talent for it just as some have a natural talent for drawing, or gymnastics, or mathematics, or whatever... Being good at chess doesn't mean you are smart and being bad definitely doesn't mean you are stupid. And anyone can substantially improve their game with study and training.

And bullet is as real as classical. It's just faster.

Yeah, good bye and good riddance.

WTF? Maybe start with What The Frog athlete are you talking about on a chess forum?? Running is correlated with intelligence is what you seem to think. It's a skill like going to the toilet. If being smart is not helpful to play chess then being retarded will surely guarantee you a win in chess tournament.

Bullet is finger gymnastics, chess caricature, nothing to do with logical thinking.

Yeah, have a good relief.

Just because you can't think fast doesn't mean that no one else can.

An average chimpanzee can think much faster than any human boasting that he can think fast.

Win streaks also can come from you playing tons of games against the computer. So you just play a lot of games against Stockfish lvl 1 and it has the same effect on win streak as any other game.
