from the past few days I have won a lot of games ,which has not happened before and I think that it has to do with either my play or just godly luck. is this common for beginners ( I'm 959 at the time of this post)

Chess is a game which does not rely on luck or chance.

If you are winning, you are making better moves than your opponent.

Luck or skill is the same in the end of the day 

Hard work does no matter either if you have not talent or natural skills

You can be lucky that you get a string of opponents who play at lower standard than their current rating. As number the of matches increases it's increasingly unlikely that this is the only factor determining your current form.

Chess is all luck. It all depends on the pieces you start with.

When I win, it is because of skill. When my opponent wins, it is because of luck.
