It has been much easier in the past, when stronger players frequentely graced us with their presence and occasionally lost to little us.
But the rating pool is smaller now, so I had to adjust.
The new strategy is this: I do not aim to win the Arena anymore. I play only a few games and withdraw, until I get 5 or ten more points.
Advantages: I don't get tired, don't make more mistakes, don't lose as many points.
Disadvantages: I cannot get the first place anymore.
you will miss medals
True, but I have a lot now, first, third, I had them all, sometimes even against strong ones, like goldentomato. Now I am all greedy for rating, not regular, just 3 check.
