It's a very accurate measurement of strength. The only way it can go down without me playing worse is that everyone else got better, or lots of people left chess.com (because it sucks) and there was a rating deflation.
Look I’m not sure game review normally says I play around 1250 and when I played in a tournament my elo was 1101 but my chess.com elo is 600
yes the opponment did get harder 400 now watches levy roman and gained a wopphing crazy iq check out a random person 2017 match at 1k elo it is trash
Game Review's rating estimate is not meant to be taken as an alternative to Elo or Glicko. They are two different things with two different functions. Glicko is meant to quantify your actual skill. Game Review just provides feedback for one particular game, like a report card, in a more familiar and meaningful way than what you get from all the numbers and individual move classifications.
Almost always, complaints like yours are just the result of tying self-esteem to rating, thus creating the need for someone to blame. "I don't suck. Chess.com sucks!"
The best advice: stop blaming others. If you want a better rating, improve your game so that you actually deserve one.
Chess.com programmers frequently manipulate the chess bot backend that you don't see in order to keep you playing-It will threaten or dominate you so you can have the exact kind of rewarding victory that adds to process addiction on the site, as part of the monetizing loop.
Well, I’m getting worse by the day. Now, I’m worser than before and that’s about the worstest thing that could happen.
I was always the worst. I can only get better. And I'm trying more lately, the last month or so. We'll see. But no, I'm not taking any chess classes or reading any books about chess or hiring any chess coach, though gawd bless those who do. I'm currently studying Scrabble in night school, enough education for me.
Chess.com got easier suddenly.
After struggling for months I got 26 out of my last 30 puzzles correct.
