I haven't played (Chess.com) since May of last year. It's so easy to get discouraged when you study hard and play game after game, year after year, and never see your rating budge. (Truth to tell, I played live USCF tournaments back in the 70s, and my online rating now is almost exactly what my live rating was 50 years ago.)

Your post has almost encouraged me to try again.
