I see.

Well, in general, I find the overall level of play seems to be rising.

This might be a side-effect of smurfs and sandbaggers - players have to get stronger just to survive in shark-infested waters. As result, it feels like everyone is levelling up ...

I do not understand why we are trying to justify a broken rating system a 1200 does not know pawn endgames period. I barely even know pawn endgames thats like 13 hours of courses to review to know something that advanced I still have like 5 more videos of danya to review. So the answer is no probably it's sandbagging, cheaitng and an inaccurate gliko system that should be revised. Why am i bleeding 130 rating points in my best time control in tournaments when im the highest rated there how does that make sense? It doesn't.
