You only say that because your rapid rating is low, you’d change your mind if it was higher.

Rapid is too hard-- I'd rather play chess than think too much.

I'm glad i'm not the only one that noticed it, cause watching some gothamchess video he gives indications and corrects mistakes at 1200 elos that i struggle to find above 800, but i play only 5 minutes games.

Over 950 one mistake make you lose the game, and often opponent never blunders, but you can find players at 850 that play like 1000, below 800 u start to find those funky games full of blunders on both sides but still all know basic tactics and common openings even at 750

Thats really not it. 950s make many mistakes, but you likely haven't learned the knowledge to be able to tell which moves are mistakes. The same reason why I can't stay at 2400; I cannot find the mistakes they make most of the time. It doesn't mean they don't exist.

I agree.

The engine analysis is pretty brutal sometimes after games. Almost all games will have some mistakes and quite often blunders also.

But in a way it is comforting, because at least it provides the knowledge that the mistakes are there and all I have to do is learn how to find them during the game.
