Just lost 70 points in few days on Lichess, so annoying!

I pretty much lost every game, such a bad sequence of losses!

    Been there! Once I lost ~120 points in one sitting 🤦 I was bored and was playing without being really engaged in the game - something that used to happen frequently. I stopped that behaviour and since then been only playing only when I feel my brain is ready, rather than playing every day or week. It’s been working quite well for me.

      Yes that’s exactly how I’ve been playing these days. I have a little daughter and I have little time to play late in the evening or in the early morning after not sleeping that much.

      The problem is that it’s like gambling… You lose some points and you just tell yourself “one more game just to get those points back”… and bam! 6 more are gone :D

      True, points shouldn’t be that important but still… One gets attached to them! :D
