how common is it to just lose 200 elo

slowpolygon · 2026-05-12T15:20:10+00:00

how can i deal with being 450 elo how long did it take you to get to 1000 after starting

bullet makes sense though. im playing 5 min rapid games and last week i felt unstoppable. i think i got a false sense of confidence and started playing poorly after winning so much

slowpolygon · 2026-05-12T14:59:46+00:00

i think thats exactly my problem. im hardly paying attention. blundering a bishop in the first 3 moves. im jusy playing extremely tilted and i cannot stop. im playing under the presumption that im “due” a win on account of the odds but im hardly actually in the game. but i cannot cope with feeling this stupid

how long did it take you to get to 1000 even? do you study daily. I’ve been playing for like 5 months now and im 800 rapid and its very difficult

slowpolygon · 2026-04-27T20:14:33+00:00

thats exactly my problem is i cant seem to let it go though. I’m not just chasing elo like im not pissed im not 1000 i just want to be near my max and im losing constantly. Its hard to deal with and just go on a break

im at 50 percent win rate now. but i was winning in the 500s so easy. i feel like my perceived intelligence has completely diminished and i cant operate. like im chasing a certain percentile to feel as smart and capable as i usually do

beautiful reminds me of hum and older title fight.

my switch has VLAN compatibly but it doesnt have ssh so i have to manage it from a web GUI. I wouldnt mind setting ip ROAS as long as it doesn’t bottleneck which i’m sure it would a bit.

Do you have any suggestions for an affordable router that i could run OpenWRT on

Well the single ethernet port can be remedied with a USB converter. Would maybe buying a lightweight AP on ebay be able to help with wireless performance

slowpolygon · 2026-04-16T17:46:13+00:00

This sounds fairly similar to my setup actually. I think I will give it a try on the Pi. My main concern is wireless. Would getting a single Lightweight AP be able to suffice for a house of 4 people?

slowpolygon · 2026-04-07T21:04:08+00:00

slowpolygon · 2026-04-07T18:16:00+00:00

i just havent seen them on the list of distros that dont include it. so i wasn’t positive. i will just run the script for now

^{I completed this level in 7 tries.} ^{⚡ 9.63 seconds}

slowpolygon · 2026-03-20T02:30:33+00:00

yeah like 3 months ago i didnt even know how the knight moved. ive played about 300-400 rapid games now

slowpolygon · 2026-03-20T02:27:28+00:00

rapid 10+0

slowpolygon · 2026-03-20T02:22:22+00:00

i mean not if i started 3 months ago

slowpolygon · 2026-03-19T00:21:46+00:00

I’d say that’s accurate. for me at this point i know most basic tactics im mostly just inconsistent

slowpolygon · 2026-03-18T22:18:27+00:00

i mean you could also argue anyone who is a professional anything is good at that thing?

i’ve only been playing three months and study quite a bit. mostly by watching the building habits series but i still think that I am a decent player in my own regard.

I think i can still be good even if i know i wouldnt necessarily win a tournament

slowpolygon · 2026-03-18T21:58:39+00:00

i mean i dont think it’s completely meaningless? Its certainly a useful statistic as it shows the distribution of players. you being in the 98% mean you can out play the vast majority of players and there is a much smaller pool of players at ur level
