@Camargoptl Since you just learned chess yesterday and you are putting in work it will definitely pay off. Things start to make sense in time.

Ever since I purchased a Gold Membership for Chess.com, I began facing other members 90% of my games. Before the membership I was a 1200-1300 player that was rising towards 1400. Within a week or so after purchasing the membership, my ELO sharply dropped to 1000. Is there some Chess.com algorithm that targets money spenders to make them more frustrated so as to get them to spend more money because they are already susceptible to spending in their eyes? There is something wrong with Chess.com whether it be accidental or deliberately and awareness should be raised. It doesn't feel right that these 1000 rated Chess.com members are playing like 1300s.
The same happened to me when I got platinum. I think in general people with a membership lose points at first as the opponents with membership may be harder at the 1200 level. I was 1000 then I dropped to 812. Now I am at 1260, just grind and you will get that old score back!

So the theory is that theres a different pool of players who have paid memberships ? Seems a bit weird. But for arguments sake i will say that i had another account ( when i didnt know that wasnt aloud ) on that account i got up to 1378 ish i played like 30 games on it an won almost all of them except a couple then i play on this account its like pulling teeth trying to win a few in a row

Yeah, I believe at the 100-2000 rating it is higher standards if you have premium

The system will initially try to pair premiums together quicky before searching for others in the pool. Your likely facing more premium players than you used to, on average. There isn't anything else going on that would cause a rating drop.
