My score usually chunters along at 1350 - 1450- or so and will do so for a good number of games agoinst players with similar score to me. Every now and again I find myself losing badly to 1100 - 1200 players playing out of their skins and Im playing at my usual , certainly no worse. I sometimes feel that chess.com has been moving the goalposts , changing algorithems , or whatever.. what da heck is going on, I dont think my game is worse than usual. Anyone find this ?
Think with simple logic,
1. Your previous 1300 rating was bogus (statistical fluke and is now adjusted to 1200) or
2. Your recent 1100 opponents were underrated ( you adjusted their rating and they are now 1200 I guess) lol.
