High accuracy 1200

I mean they could just be having a good game if you suspect something odd like I think you are implying than report.

Hello Krampus

I tried looking at your recent games and I noticed that the games that I think you're referring to are games where you either:

1. Also played a similar accuracy, but then blundered in the middlegame and therefore its easier for your opponent to play "good/correct" moves.

2. Gave yourself some easy-to-punish inaccuracies early. For example one of your recent games you opened up the position while your king was in the middle. Castled queenside where it wasn't really protected and your opponents pieces were ready to attack. And then your opponent had easy aggressive play due to your weak king and non-developed pieces.

My point? Accuracy is very dependent of how the game went. If you made obvious blunders or inaccuracies, its not going to be hard for the opponent to get a high accuracy. If the game didn't last many moves, this also effects the opportunity to be inaccurate. A stupid, but solid, example is a game you played recently, where you won after 7 moves with 100% accuracy. This is due to your opponents mistakes and the short win.

Hope this helps! Keep playing. Keep improving. You're doing great!

@KasperJH thanks for taking the time to look at some of my games. I do blunder a lot, I am aware of that, and I am working on it. Some games, however, it feels I am playing with someone completely out of my league and then blunder arrives due to the pressure of being under constant treat. While I lose my game because I need to get better, sometimes I feel I am definitely not playing in my league, therefore the question, an I Lucky to be in the 1200 and my Elo should be lower or sometimes I found an opponent on steroids?

1200 is one of the "sign-up" ratings. People just starting on the website can pick that rating.

They might be experienced over-the-board players, who will eventually settle in around 1600.

If they have only played over-the-board and not online, how would they know what initial rating to choose? They won't know whether they are strong or weak until after they've played multiple online games.

@blueemu no, the person I have in mind have over 10k games. He gained a solid advantage at the beginning, me down 5 minutes while he was still in the 9 minute mark. Then suddenly everything seems more relaxed and I reduce the gap, then he gets better again, but then he cannot mate with a significant advantage and I lose on time. I understand that one argument could be that he knows the opening and I don't, but for that particular reason I also probably don't follow any classic "line". I had 2-3 ppl lately with a decent amount of games under their belt where I had this weird feeling.

If the person has over 10k games and haven't progressed longer than 1200 the person probably isn't cheating. Could be a player who plays many games mindlessly and then sometimes focus more. Could you give me the specific game if you want feedback? (We can do it in private chat - Maybe i can help your progress)

Besides that. Have you played chess elsewhere or have you only played 65 games ever? Because that also has an impact.
