could anyone suggest how an 1100 rated chess.com account, played a game with a game analysis rating 1800? I am really wondering or should I be suspicious about the difference between his chess.com rating and the 1800 rating he played the game?

No. Not at all lol. 1800 is bad actually. Thing is- the rating accuracy on chess.com is incredibly inaccurate. Completely ignore it!

Yes i agree all online sites ratings are totally fake, sorry but they are, online chess sites ratings are only a basic guide to anyone's actual playing abilities. If you want a real rating join a local over the board chess club and join the local county leagues, these have a governing body registered with FIDE only these ratings are worthy of concern! Online chess sites are good basic practice and not worth losing any sleep over if they should go up 20+ points or Down 20+ points?!

You are probably confusing the player's rating with the game ratings shown after a particular game.

The "game ratings" just take your player rating and add or subtract points based on how you did in three phases of the game . (Opening, middlegame and endgame)

An 1100 rapid rated player could easilly get a game rating of 1800 if he played all 3 components of the game well.

Yep, or the game ends before the 3 phases. I've had a few games where my opponent resigned in the opening because of a missed tactic (so no middle or end game) or missed an obvious check mate in the middle game (no end game).

And Chess.com will rate you 2300 because you played a "perfect game" even though it was only 10-15 moves.

Its not really an accurate metric. I got 100 percent accuracy and a 2300-something rating on my last game. This had more to do with me making fairly obvious moves in the opening and my opponent blundering mate in 1 than any real reflection of my actual strength.

This game was played at my local library a while ago. My rating is 1240 rapid, and my opponent was unrated. For a long time, the game review would not give me a performance rating, but something changed recently. I went to look at the game, and when I hit the review it gave me a rating of 2200. I was quite surprised. I do not know what they changed, but the accuracy rating it used to give me was unchanged at 83%. I don't think the computer liked a lot of my moves, but I play some illogical chess at times. Let me know what you think of such a rating.

Its rather simple. Game Analysis performance rating is bs. It isnt accurate whatsoever

This is entirely my point. In the past it gave me no performance rating. I think that was because my opponent had no rating, therefore It couldn't judge how good my game was. I don't know what changed, but one should take all performance ratings with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I play blitz at 1300 strength and because I play variants of one or two openings, I will have a rating strength of 1750-1950 N7 or occasionally 2000. All this means is within that scheme, I rate well. When I play bullet and I make inaccuracies based on the sites analysis, I go to 400-650. Which is correct and more important, who cares?

Yes i see this

I like how most comments ignore the so called elephant in the room. It known that over 75% of accounts are using an online chess aid to improve their game. On line chess has a problem with chess aids like chess bots. Chess.com is best used for practice to improve your real life chess game.

90% of statistics are made up on the spot.
No, 75% of chess players aren't using engines. Is that what you tell yourself when you lose a game? "They cheated." Yes, for sure bro. They cheated.
