After I got CM, did my chess get much worse?


Why not 15.Bxe4,Qxh5 16.move back the bishop to get rid of the barrier to those nice juicy lines to all those weaknesses? The e6 and e5 points are weak, but still covered by minor pieces, though black's kingside is pretty busted.

The red title letters work like a red rag to a bull for the average scalp hunter
lol you got a point

At that standard rating, 90% of the players are using an engine which is why their accounts are so anonymous. That is also why almost all of those players who have high ratings and virtually no information on their profile are banned within a few months of their account's creation. I'm not saying that your opponent used an engine in that game but many of your recent losses may be to a weak engine ex: littlethought, tigran etc.

Wow, 900 standard games. That makes me wonder if that time control is ok to play. I've thought of it like caughtupinthemoment's comment says above, that it's mostly cheaters after a certain rating.

Mr.Finkleman would never cheat
...
He's a CM, asking why he feels he got WORSE at chess, and yet you still accuse him of cheating?
Nope.

By "makes me wonder if it's ok to play" I mean ok to play in a good way. My default thought was it was just a bunch of cheaters. You usually see titled players FMs, IMs, GMs, with low ratings, so I never wanted to try. 1900 is good though and apparently he doesn't run into a bunch of cheaters because he plays often enough to log 900 games.
