I am a person a bit below 300 elo and the games I’ve been getting have been kinda insane lately. There is a good amount of people who just don’t blunder and since I usually blunder once a game I lose. Also there’s people in that amount who get moves better than best move. I just find it really difficult to play chess when at some of 5e lowest Elo’s one blunder will cost you the entire game.
Also in a game that the guy got 2 great moves and 0 blunders chess said I played like 550 elo and the other guy played like 950 elo. Even though we both are below 300.
Yeah, I totally agree. Chess ELO can definitely be a bit confusing. Sometimes it feels like you win a bunch of games and your rating barely moves, or you lose one and it drops a ton. It’s definitely not the most intuitive system.
