Don't understand why I am winning so much suddenly against high ranked players

Not complaining, but I have been winning ALOT against players that I thought were too good to be beaten with such consistency.

Few days ago I may not have beaten any player having more points than I have now - 1795  in 5 | 0

 

My theories on why I am winning...

- I have actually gotten ridiculously better.

- I got intimidated by higher ranked players earlier

- Other high 1700+ players think I am great, think silly mistakes as tactics.

- 1800 points are not that good (as I think)

- 5 | 0 is unreliable.

- happens.

Also I really don't know what I am doing right. I think I 'see' positions better, maybe making fewer mistakes, maybe less afraid to try difference things.  Or it could be just loads of practice  and playing and loving the game for as long as I can remember .

Anyone want to have a quick look here (ignore the last game)? : https://chess.com/games/archive/gyaani_guy?show=live_blitz&gameType=live_blitz&rated=rated

Enjoy it while it lasts. 

Three of your four most recent wins were on time. A fourth was owed to a mouse slip.

Is it possible your internet service has improved? Enough so that you are not losing games on time yourself?

It looks like you were already a 1700 until a recent downturn took you down to 1500 or so.

lol its chess not an fps, internet connection doesn't mean much. Unless we talk about a very unstable connection.

> Three of your four most recent wins were on time. A fourth was owed to a mouse slip.

First, its a blitz game, it is about time as well you know. Second, last 8 victories have 2 time wins, one mistake (which I asked to ignore), Third, its not just about the last 8 victories

The other observation was your recent 300 point hiccup.

Last month you could have made a post about whether you would ever win again.

English, it's jut #6 isn't speaking particularly great English.

And if "Kid" is getting translated as "baby goat" for you, in England and America "kid" is also slang for "child".

Vicount - Are you sure its not baby goat ?

What if, in fact, King Sullian is the first known Baby goat to use the internet?

We should really make note of this momentous occasion.

 Oops, guess it didn't last. Back to 1720.

Looks like we can rule out most of your theories.

Not in this case. Superchessmachine wrote "Frames Per Second "kid". "  He was not referring to the king's indian defense.
