One option is to close this account and open a new one. When an account is new it can gain (and lose) 100 points in a single game (and every game you win and lose a little less until it's normal again). That way you can get moved to your correct rating quickly.
I should be rated much higher than i am

You are what your rating says it is. If, as you say, you are good at spotting moves, then other reasons are contributing to your losses. My guess is that you’re not careful and you blunder.
Rating measures how likely you are to win or lose, it doesn’t measure how much you know about chess or finding good moves. If you give away your pieces or fall for simple tactics, you lose more, regardless of how well you can solve puzzles or how many moves of theory you know in the Winawer French.
Go study why you lose and work on that part of your game. It’s boring, but it’s the best way to improve.

You should have registered as a high rated player..now create a new acc. Close the current one before you get defamed
i am too tired of a bunch of idiots accusing innocent players with typical "ohh they play much better than their rate" crap

No need to be mean to the guy. Most players think they are better than their rating.
No offense, but after 100 games on chess.com if you're losing somewhat consistently to players about the same rating as you then you're probably in the right rating pool... but no need to worry, just keep on playing and having fun =]

Someone at my chess club said he had about a dozen accounts on chesss.com about a decade ago. Who knows by now. It's a dumb idea to keep shutting one account and starting another. The rating is a reflection of your performance over time. If you stink, you'll sink to a rating you don't like, but which reflects your actual skill. If people close one account and open another, they always end up a the same rating again. Maybe they should take a class in statistics. Or maybe study middlegame technique.

In general I agree with you. People overestimate themselves, and I'm a big skeptic of all sorts of things... but you never know.

Probably you watched too much "Agadmator videos"? (e.g. Congratuations you defeated Magnus Carlsen )
I've already learned that watching stats and points is a way to be disappointed.
Is not reach the top that imports, it's the climb.

I just went to a recent opponent of mine who has a Daily Chess rating of 1589. When clicked on "full stats" it said his rating's percentile (the % of people whose rating is below his) is 97.1, which means the "average player here is well below 1589.
An opponent with a rating of 1064 was still in the 62.4 percentile!
I'm guessing the problem here is with an understanding of statistics.

What "moves" did you find that a GM couldn't find. If that is true, you must be better than a GM. Why do you still lose to people who just learned the moves of the game then? If you mean a brilliant move, a brilliant move is a move that an engine could not find in time, and it is very easy to find, and not very important. A 800 player can even make a brilliant move that is logical.
Even I could find some moves GMs couldn't find. Doesn't necessarily make me better than a GM. What would is having a 51% or higher score against one.

Many players can find the right move in a “pause the video” moment. Two things: first, being good isn’t about finding one good move, but finding all of the good moves leading up to the moment. Second, every GM when told “this is the critical moment of the game, there is only one good move” will find that move because they will take extra care. That a move is critical isn’t always immediately obvious.

Is there a single user on chess.com who is so upset about being over rated they make a post?

Happens a lot for the Daily pool.
Not trying to be rude, but I think you are in the right rating pool. I looked at some of your games and you seem to be rated around your level. Not trying to act like a chess expert here, I am FAR from it. But I do think you are overestimating yourself. For example, you moved your queen out turn 2 in the last game you played. Once again, not trying to be rude so sorry if it comes out that way.
Mmmmkay, the first thing is to stop all the speed chess ur playing. If u don't have time to think it will just create bad habits of playing bad moves fast. Ur simply gonna play similar moves thousands of times, permanently fixing them into ur brain, without learning proper strategic planning. All ur moves r gonna be superficial one move threats. Don't continue that bad habit, it will become permanent if u allow it.
im playing very good chess but im not gaining much points. i watched some videos on youtube and i found moves that grandmasters did not find and improved my chess very fast but it takes so many games to gain a few points. How do i play higher rated players so i can gain rating faster?
