Every single game I have lost this week has been to a player with a highest rating of 1700 or above, these players are stomping me with 90-95% accuracy, when I play fellow 1500s I win but then there are so many of these sandbaggers it is impossible to progress. Quitting the site because this is stupid, sort it out moderators.
This doesn't make any sense. You have lost to highly-rated players and you win against lower rated players. What's the problem, what's the surprise?
Using rating in the 1000 elo bracket rapid to measure strength is pointless. There's usually no difference in play between an 800 and a 1600. Completely broken. I've said this many times, as someone who has played Daily chess their entire life and im 1700-1800 strong at Daily chess, many 800 elos are as strong or even stronger. Many others are just barely learning to move the pieces. And both types are the same elo. You never know what you are going to get, rendering the meaning of "800 elo" pointless.
This 900 elo who can apparently hold the position equal for 30 moves:

is barely 100 points higher than this 850 elo:

Like, I resign on the spot if you put a performance like the first game, even if im winning.
Just ran the first game through Lichess and my opponent played 28 centipawn loss at 900 elo level. In a 40 game move. I had to play at 17 centipawn loss for THIRTY moves before he blundered one single pawn which turned the position in my favour.
Imagine having to put a 20 centipawn loss performance in the 800 elo bracket just to have the chance to tip the game in your favour on just one pawn loss.
They don't have the same performance but it can feel like they do a 1600 can beat a 800 probably close to 90% of the time specifically talking about rapid and blitz chess
Yes occasionally they will have the same performance as 800s but it's not as common
Daily is meaningless some 2000s are like 800-1600 daily just because they don't grind daily plus some 1000s are 2000+ daily
