I had a look at some of your games. You resigned a lot in them when you didn’t really have to, especially at 400. I get what you’re saying as I think the same a lot too at 1000 (still beginner) where I think a lot of people sandbag - it’s a bigger problem than people let on. In longer time controls people do tend to play better and they also cheat more. What I will say is that in some of your resignations you can see you’ve made a bad move. If you haven’t done it turn on ‘confirm move’ in live games in the settings as it helps with your vision and avoids mistakes more. Keep grinding, I will be too 👍

SnrWoody, holy crap, I had no idea you could turn on "confirm moves" for live games! I play 10x better OTB because I have a hard time visualizing the effects of every move on a 2d screen, and confirming moves will be a big help. Thanks!

I think my hypothesis that the early 400 elos are a smurf haven might've been correct. I switched my pairing to include mid 400 to 500 elos and immediately started winning 4 times in a row with high accuracy.
I started playing chess a month ago, grinded a lot of theory, games and puzzles where I've reached nearly 1700 rating and despite all my efforts I'm deadlocked in the 300-400 elo range. Looking at my game reviews I am playing with decent accuracy, not blundering pieces and averaging around 950-1150 game rating yet I am still getting outmatched by opponents who should be in the lower 25 percentile. I am unable to improve and every time I get a little winstreak I immediately start losing when I approach the 400 range. I'm beginning to believe that because 400 is a default rating that the majority of people in this range are smurfs who made a new account. Maybe it has something to do with the way I'm playing but I honestly don't see a way out at this point.
