I do not know my own strenght. Officially it is 1428, but some days I feel like 1800, and in som games I feel like 1200.

Is it very common to have very variable strenght? Does experience even it out?

Do you have very diffent strenght in different variations of different openings?

I have been training hard for 16 months, and also did play a year in a club 38 years ago.

Is it typical for ca 1400 Fide to be very variable?

I read a game today where the looser had 2198 Fide, but looked like 1800.

How much difference do you have, and what do you think is common?

Maybe Fabiano Caruana is bouncing between 2400 and 3400 in actual real strenght?
