Aren't there a lot of smurfs in the 800-900 ELO range?

They use sophisticated tactics as if they were 1500 or something.

The ELO system on this site is already broken. On the contrary, 1000 players often play in a way that leaves them vulnerable.

For now, I think it might be more fun to stop playing online and play casually face-to-face.

It seems that the administrator of this site has only been able to capture a portion of the cheaters, and as long as I stay in this level range, it's impossible to play fairly and enjoyably, so I'm going to join a chess club.
