Beat the Rating Slump Blues with WIM Anna-Maja Kazarian
Show Notes

019 With so many hours put into our chess practice. The experience of a long-term rating decline or plateau can be frustrating. Even painful. Shouldn’t we see positive rating results if it’s been X number of months or years?

Not always.

But that doesn’t mean you’re not improving. Or that the tide won’t eventually turn.

In this episode, Woman International Master and popular chess streamer, Anna-Maja Kazarian, tell us about her struggle with a long-term rating decline.

First, though, we discuss her chess origin story, her rapid ascent as a chess player, and a bit about her Twitch channel.

Then we explore the topic of dealing with and overcoming a rating plateau.
