im a level 920... I've been as high up as 1,190 and I play way too much chess, admittedly. that said I don't know what the heck is the reason for this but I used to win a substantial amount of my games even with the accused of cheating when I came to a lot of never even thought of it like what's the fun really. nevertheless I seriously feel like because of my long gameplay hours I am being put in some pool where when they don't want me to win I don't win has anyone ever heard of something like this on chess.com? I hate to sound paranoid but when the average game play analysis is almost double what their ELO really is it's like come on it's so annoying. would really love help on either understanding when I'm missing or credit me the ELO from this cheating targeted campaign. really sick of it might just drop the app altogether.
