Hi, relatively new player here. A couple months ago, I dropped all the way down to rock-bottom 100 elo, but I'm learning and I'm gradually working my way back up. But, I'm a bit confused.
I can, pretty regularly, . 8 times out of 10, beat bots rated at 900-1100 elo. So, one might figure I'm around that level? But I've been hovering around 300 elo in rapid, and I'm stuck in that rut. I don't have the capability to play daily games, unfortunately.
So, my question is, why is there such a disparity in my apparent skill level, and where I'm actually sitting? This problem is discouraging me a lot, so any advice on getting out of this rut would be welcome.
