Welp, today i lost to a 345 elo kid, I'm a 1060! Well maybe its because im rusty after not playing for 8 months or I thought this was a easy win and sold the game, maybe that's why I lost. This also isn't the first time I lost to a person with significantly less ELO than me. I once lost to a 400 once. Oh well, AMA

Some players study a lot and don't play rated games for a while so they'll be a lot better than their rating shows.

And yeah, otb is the real thing, not like online at all. So the ratings are vastly different.

300 otb is probably around 1000 on chess.com

It was over the board
