Idk this is probably my skill issue because I’m a beginner but yesterday I was at 261 but I lost like 7 games in a row and one person when the losing streak began had me down 25 points in material

Something that I have also observed is that there is always a delay in my connection, I have verified and it seems to be fine but on chess.com my rivals always beat me because they have more time

I have that game reviewed at the time of that game my opponent was rated less than 200 and I lost in the middle game and he played like a 650 according to the analysis but you can’t always trust those so but also I would feel bad if it was my skill issue and if he actually just beat me bad

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean
The site also doesn't use bots in the player pools and if an account is cheating, it gets closed as soon as it's detected.

I suspect they have been pairing me with these players, or I don't know if I have a losing streak, I was at 2300 in bullet and I went down to 2100 without recovering and the same in blitz was at 2259 and I have not recovered again
