Hello, All!
I have noticed that the slight majority of the people I play are between 100 and 200 points lower than their peak ratings, and in most cases the peak was relatively recent (a year or so). My rating sits a lot, at worst, 100 points lower than my peak, but most of the time I am only 30-50 points away. (Note: I play only blitz on this site.) Are these people using engines on some of their runs or something else?
I don't think 100 or even 200 points is a lot if a player is active.
Your own rating has fluctuated a lot more than you remember. It looks like you had a swing of almost from a high of 1674 on November 13th to a low of 1514 on November 23rd.
A mere 10 days knocked 160 points off your rating. What happened?
I doubt anything happened. It was the luck of the draw.
