1100-1300 blitz discussions

I swear that this group of players is on another level. Like for me to win a game at this rating , I have to play usually unless someone makes a blunder, between 72-80% accuracy . ( that’s like 1600 chess)Almost all my wins show games that were given ratings of 1200-1800 ?? . When I got above 1350 on rapid and bullett I noticed a marked decrease in difficulty against opponents in bullett and rapid and the opponents appear to make more human like moves. Are the 1100-1300 blitz opponents really mostly 800 level players using engines? Ir are they really that good?? I swear that this group must have the highest percentage of cheating?? But I’m probably gonna be called a whiny 😫 brat who just needs to play better chess.. haha 🤣

You're not a brat, but you are whiny. Don't you think we all have frustrations with the individual skill levels of our opponents? 800's struggle against 900's, and 2000's struggle against 2100's. It's against forum rules to complain about cheating, and it does become repetitive and annoying when another player who's mad that he's not progressing as fast as he wants decides it has to be due to cheating.

Yeah, I stopped playing rapid because I had too many suspicious games. The truth is that most cheaters will only use the engines in critical positions for a few moves. People think cheaters are always easily caught when in reality it's only the ones who use the engine every game for every move

#1 first of all, the estimated elo feature is complete trash, don’t use that for estimates, and you can’t really put an elo number to accuracy either because it very much depends on the complexity of the game. A 700 could get 95 after his opponent hangs his queen and resigns, or a gm could get low accuracy because it’s a really complex tactical game. Second of all, that elo range has a bunch of new accounts, who might be much worse or much better than their rating, which might explain why some people are playing so well. If someone was actually cheating, they’d be way above 1200.

And while I certainly don't think everyone I lose against is cheating (the vast majority do not), I do think the number of people who cheat is underestimated by many

Has nothing to do with progress. It has to do with what chess.com has already confirmed. Notice MyCATSandDOGSareGMs doesn't have a red circle with the line through it.

What are you talking about? He is complaining about his progress, he's complaining that a 1100 blitz shouldn't be able to beat a 1300 rapid, and I'm presuming this is because he's focused and unhappy with his rating. Wouldn't this disgruntlement then reflect as a judgement of his progress?

Oh and I get it now, you joined 18 hours ago and I'm seeing you in other forums making claims about this person none of us have even heard of before. Please find better things to do than to use troll accounts to fulfill a personal need to prove some irrelevant point

Does the player know who they are playing? Until then, we can't guarantee anything online. It's one thing to go to your chess club, have security and anti-cheating measures in place. It's another to log in and have no clue who is behind the screen of the person you are playing. We don't know if they have a titled player teaching them. We don't know if it is a guy much higher rated showing off to a girl he likes.

We simply don't know, and when you know you are playing a human at one rating and winning, then play a bunch of games at the lower rating and lose one after the other, something is up. This is not normal. Humans don't play like that.

Right. Human's are predictable like computers and we can perfectly understand their behavior like a math equation. How could I ever forget?

Can you explain how I got to 2000 then? Did I cheat or pay chess.com, it seems like there's no other alternative in your opinion. Working hard? Nah, that would be insane, Hikaru didn't do anything but pay loads of money as a 6 year old to FIDE to gain his title

The strength of players at this level is shocking. Feel the same way

My blitz rating is in 1400 and rapid in 1500. Rather than a blitz player having a better skill than rapid player and made you think they're cheating, I think it's more to blitz play more aggressively and more confident despite their move most likely not the best move, and because of that you get affected by their momentum and trying to play fast and play unaccurate move. At least, that was my experience when I was still playing a 30-minute chess game and not like now.

I am not talking about improvement, I am talking about suspicious performance with the pairings. Two completely different things like King's Opening and Queen's Opening.

So everyone that's higher than 1500 has somehow prevented this suspicious pairing and that's the only reason they're high rated... how does that make any sense?

Chess.com has even acknowledged something isn't right in the 600-1000 bracket. This person's account was closed even though I won my game with them.

They were closed for fair play, sometimes cheaters lose the occasional game to seem more human. Maybe they were sandbagging, maybe maybe maybe. We don't know, but it's not chess.com acknowledging your insane belief, they don't even know who you are and they don't care either.

@TheDrToTheCheckCheck after reading your reply to my comment, most likely why you get so many losing streak because you can't control your anger issues, not because cheater, for simplicity like this : you lose>angry>play again>can't concentrate> blunder> lose> repeat. Also, my comment is more to give a suggestion than to judge you, I know your feelings of having many losing streak and I have been there, after getting many losing streak and tired become angry after losing many time, i realized chess are just a game and not worth my stamina to angry because I'm losing a game of chess. So calm your mind first and take a break from chess, and maybe the next time you play chess again, you'll have a winstreak. Fyi, my worst losing streak was my rating drop from 1800 to 1200.

I was using 1500 as my limit. I am not claiming either way past 1500, since I don't feel my chess performance is at that level. I would expect 1800s to be the starting point to know how 1500 to 1700 play, 2000s to know 1500 to 1800. You need to be a bit stronger to know what is within arm's reach of a player that is lower rated. This is similar to Magnus being able to "sniff out" suspicious play at the 2600 level. Would you be able to do the same without assistance?

That's the exact opposite, I agree I wouldn't know about a 2600 but I do about 800's... I used to be one. I'm going to move on with my life, you can believe your insanity if you wish
