Ratings Go See And Saw The See Saw Syndrome

That was a mouthful of a title. The journal of an online chess player who could see no further in competition than the ratings of a beginner yes that is putting it bluntly. I'll maybe just maybe pull out of a slump for a weak minded winning streak win a few good games rating around 1229 or even beat a 1400 player fair and square on a skilled level and not just by luck all the time. It's better to listen to the news now I'm reiterating Joe Montana I hate to lose more than I like winning so why am I playing this game? It's a game of life I suppose it has drama and the joy of winning and the sorrow of losing it can be that simple. The last two losing games cost me plenty in points losing to lower rating players. It is a see your ratings sawed into smaller numbers you see it only for it later for it to become the see saw syndrome. It is the highs and the lows no one stays on top of the high forever unless one is crazy.
