Oh dear..  the words "cheating and "lichess" in the same thread. The chess.com walls will come crashing down.

I play 0 blunder 0 mistakes 3 minutes games routinely and then give away my queen on the very next game. It's strange to me if you are at 1200 and literally blunder and mistake every single game. I get on average you blunder and mistake every game but variance... And if you occasionally don't blunder or mistake then why should it surprise you if your opponents don't?

There are enough 300-400 elo players (!) playing without blunders that it's impossible to advance if you do.   Not all, but enough.    This site is so full of previously unknown chess geniuses and the standard of play so high that elo has become randomized (like, in an actual statistical sense that you can measure).  Amazing!   Most of these people don't play normal time control games, or do puzzles, ever.   They're just that good.
