Or anything 100- about 3800 if you're a GM

Yeh, I could have worded that better but that was the point I was trying to convey.

nah you're good

Dan-likes-clocks-2

They are estimates on your performance rating, I want to clear things up

Dan-likes-clocks-2

It is your performance rating, I just said "estimate of your performance rating", because its not exact

Dan-likes-clocks-2

You're assuming that the other player was bad

What I mean is, if you scroll down the game review highlights at the bottom chess.com gives an estimate of what rating you played like, it could be 600 or 2600

Ok, that's not an estimate of your rating. That's your performance in the game. Your overall rating is based on your play. Your performance is based on not only your moves but also your opponents. If they played poorly it will show you have a higher performance rating. But that doesn't mean that is your overall rating.

You brought up the overall rating while I was just talking about one game

Dan-likes-clocks-2

I never said anything about overall rating you brought that up

Dan-likes-clocks-2

Sorry I just am very defensive

The problem is all the 950 blitz players who in reality are 1600 to 1700 elo rapid players in disguise.

I sometimes feel bad playing 750 ELO blitz when I'm 1202 sporadic

I was about to argue to this guy but chess.com won't let me send 5 consecutive messages, so it was a message from the Holy Spirit in disguise
