that AND lower rated players can have exceptional games sometimes too! I actually beat chessmaster 2000's "tal" personality when I flipped a scandinavian 4 pawns game I was studying as black when tal thought it was good for black to play 1.e4 d5 2.d4 e5 3.dxe5 dxe4?? 4.Qxd8 Kxd8. I said nah uh! prove it! I flipped the board, played a 30m game and beat the bot in something like 27 moves using less time as a 1400! it might not have been at its full 2400 strength on my old 160Mhz system, but I was still way outmatched.
don't get blinded by ratings. they only predict probabilities. chess is a complicated game . I know I get soooo proud of myself when i stumble into a position where ALL of my pieces are perfectly co-ordinated with no weaknesses and lots of pressure. I don't do it on purpose.
if you keep playing, you should start to collect a lot of 1000 pelts. 100 points isn't the biggest difference. instead of studying against a computer though, study some opening theory or do some tactics training. computers don't play like people, and if you ask me, the give bad advice sometimes.
keep grinding and you'll get better
Some context here: Synthetic Adrenaline is me. It's a spare account I use as a kind of training room for trying weird openings or practising longer time controls as a blunderproofing tool for my main discipline of 10 minute rapid. My rating over there is a provisional one. I picked the intermediate option when making the account and got given the status of 1200 which was really too high for me - I should have picked advanced beginner.
So this is a big achievement because the 902 figure doesn't reflect my real experience. On this account where I had to win Elo from the ground up I'm 770 and have never been above 800.
I'm not going to get too smug about this since I understand that it's a rare anomaly. Higher rated players are humans who can have off days like anyone else. We all have them - I lost to a 525 while being in the 700s once. Still...this is a nice achievement. A tired or tilted 1055 is still a lot more experienced than me.
