So recently I've been playing a bunch of atomic games, got to 2280 at my peak. But then a 1800 guy I played as white literally crushed me and when I imported it on lichess, all his moves were perfect. That happened a couple of times, especially among that rating range. It makes no sense that I am capable of winning against 2000+ players as black, and they clearly make mistakes once in a while. Even if I block them one by one, cheaters just keep appearing, and I lose so much rating every game, it feels impossible to gain rating. So I was wondering how people get such high rating. 

so it says in the club title that you need to be 2200+ and in the description that you need to be 2000+ which is it? this matters to me since i'm 2000+ in spell chess but not 2200+
