So on my main account after a very long hard grind up from 500 I've just made it to 1300 and I was very pleased with myself. I found that I was quite scared to start another game because peak and all that so I made a new account (also to test out new openings with less risk and just have a bit more relaxed play) but after having finished 43 games I have very comfortably settled into 1500, with quite low glicko RD. The road to 1300 was not easy. I'm now confused. Is the range 13-1500 just all the same skill level? Am I not yet finished with placement games and not being matched with "real" 1500s? Has anyone else with multiple accounts experienced this?
It's very possible to for ratings to fluctuate 1-200 rating. It's very possible that had you continued in the other account, your rating would have kept going up and if you keep playing in this, it could go down.
That said, without staff approval, having multiple accounts risks closure.
