You feel that you should never lose to a lower-rated player?
Then you should never win against a higher-rated player, correct? Never. Because that would require him to lose against a lower-rated player (you) which you feel should not happen?
Why I lose to much lower rated player ??
Sort:
If you lose to a lower rated player is probably because you should be lower rated.
That is probably the dumbest thing I've read today. There are so many other factors that come to play.
I completely agree with you on this one.. I can play really well against higher rated players.. but when it comes to the majority of the lower rated people in my current rating range.. I get destroyed by their mindless moves. You'd think with my experience I should know how to get around it.. but there's just so much going on that I stop knowing what to do. They don't give a crap about their pawn structure.. or yours, they just take take take.. trade and chase pieces like a rabid dog at a park full of children.. if they catch tunnel vision on a piece, they'll do anything in their power to take it. I often play the sicilian.. or try to anyways. They usually go for the bowdler attack and next thing you know,a random move outside of the book and often I am lost.. Especially when it comes to playing the pirc and they start throwing everything at me mid development *sees that I developed my knight*---*Throws the bishop and a handful of pawns at it* like..it's insanity! I don't get 400-1000 rated players sometimes (hell, I don't even know where I stand at this point, but I can show a bunch of amazing games of mine to get an idea if necessary) but yeah.. losing to players far below my own rating drives me nuts
