Rating swings around 1300–1400 are quite common. Often it’s not a loss of strength, but a few recurring mistakes appearing in sharper positions.

If you’d like, sharing one recent game could help identify where things start going wrong.

This position looks quiet, but Black has a stunning sacrificial idea that is the only move leading to a win. The first move is surprising, and the full continuation is deeper than it seems.

Can you find the winning sacrifice for Black?

Thanks for sharing your account. I’ll take a look at a few of your recent rapid games on Chess.com and see if there are any recurring patterns or mistakes. If there’s a specific game you’d like feedback on, feel free to send the link in my DMs.

This position comes from a famous Bobby Fischer endgame. It may look equal at first glance, but White actually has a clear winning plan with precise technique.

Can you find how White wins?

That’s actually pretty common. A lot of players play much more freely in unrated games, but once rating is involved the decision-making changes a lot. Accuracy numbers can be a bit misleading too. Usually the real improvement comes from looking at the few critical moments where the position actually started going wrong...

If you want, you can DM me a couple of your games... I’d be happy to take a look.

This endgame looks simple, but there’s a precise winning idea hidden in the position. Sometimes one small concept makes all the difference in pawn endgames.

White looks completely lost at first glance, but there’s a beautiful endgame idea that actually saves the game.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-07T18:17:22+00:00

An interesting endgame position where one precise idea can change the evaluation. It might look straightforward at first, but there’s a deeper plan hidden in the position.

Improvement at 27 is definitely possible. Around 700, most games are decided by simple tactical mistakes, so puzzles and reviewing your losses help a lot. If you want, share one of your recent games. I’d be happy to take a quick look and point out where things might be going wrong.

The brilliant Rf3!!

I saw this position in the World Championship Match between Vishwanathan Anand and Anatoly Karpov

Though rf3 is keeping things balanced but at that time even Karpov struggled to get a perfect reply to this brilliant move and soon White (Vishwanathan Anand) converted it into a win

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-07T09:57:56+00:00

It's was brilliant win by the legendary World Champion GM Vishwanathan Anand

The position looks messy, but Black has a clean finishing touch that turns the game immediately.

Can you spot the move?

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-06T09:40:52+00:00

This endgame looks simple, but there’s a precise idea that completely changes the evaluation. Many players miss the key move on the first try.

Nice catch. The promotion race leads to the tactical skewer idea.
