How much does someone's mood have an impact in their chess?

<Comment deleted by user>
I generally try not to play when on tilt.When I'm on tilt, I definetly play badly but definetly not too bad.

Of course, you need to have a calm mind while playing.Also, it varies from person to person.Personally for me mood doesn't matter much, it only does if my mood is really bad.
Sometimes, when I play with a slightly worse mood, winning a few games does help , better my mood.So, for me in a way its' bad also in a way its' fine.
I would say that under the worst possible circumstances I probably perform 300 points below my actual rating. Beyond that the skill difference is just too huge to cause any further damage.
@ZwischenzugX11 Oh, I'm so sorry! As I wasn't getting any replies, I was just confused if it wasn't a good question after all. I'm sometimes get anxious about expressing thing, haha , sorry I'm very weird, LOL.

But I guess the main question is still visible to all.
Don't worry, its' nothing to be sorry about, it can be annoying for some people though.
This question was genuine and a good topic,#1 was well written, unlike some of the nonsense the forums have been seeing lately.
Sometimes the threads do go unnoticed or people don't know the answer or solution.But you should definetly wait for a reply , deleting is not the solution, especially in this case where the question is perfectly genuine.
Im on tilt very often, especially OTB when there are varying distractions. I find it helpful to remind myself of the fact that my opponent didnt beat me, he beat a different person. My mood definitely has an impact and I find it hard to believe that other people don't play differently when they're in a different mood.
