yes I'm experiencing the same. Would be nice if one could play people who are at around the same level, a little stronger or a little worser wouldn't it? Even at my low level at around 800-1000 some people are blitzing out moves and combinations which are ridiculous and those are not people who have just started climbing the rating ladder.
Question about ratings and players .
Sort:
Same for me, I was holding my own at 1550, now struggling to hold 1350, on lichess my rating has been going up 🤷
Same here 1700 to 1422
Me and many people on forums also experienced similar things on both here and lichess. I think between some ratings there is high cheater pool. I believe these highly populated cheater area is especially closer to the websites's starting ratings. With time these cheaters get eliminated by the system or they get bored thats why we feel like 1400s are much easier than 1200s.
Hello ,
I want to ask a question . For a year+ i maintained 1430-1480 range , then i passed to 1500 and the highest to 1550 and i stood at 1500+ for like 2 months ( these are all avg ranges of time ) . Now i get completly destroyed by 1250 players and i can barely sustain low 1300 sometimes falling below.
So my question is is the chess rating getting higher quality players at lower ratings than before , because when i started playing and i was at 1100-1200 i dont seem to remember people destroying me so badly . I mean ive seen players pulling 90%+ accuracy in 20-25+ moves plus games.Any tricks i try they spot them , everything i do is not working .
Also very weird is that i seem to meet alot of players that completly stuck me and im basicly dead in the water , then suddenly they give up their queen for nothing or a key piece .... wich is very very weird.
Thx
