Hi Chess lovers,

I have played chess on other online and offline platforms before and my rating is around 1600s. Around two days ago, I just opened a new free chess account here and I chose intermediate because I think 1600s is on the intermediate level, but to my surprise, the intermediate level here is just 1200. At first, I thought that I would be able to reach my 1600s here in a couple of days. Well, I was wrong! other 1200 ratings here are strong! I won a game but after that I lost even from the 1100s on 3 minutes time span and i lost so many times on time or checkmated. I can't imagine how strong those chess players who have above 2000s ELO ratings. I just hope that I will have my own above 2000s ELO ratings too here and it's gonna be an enjoyable journey for me. So guys, do you have the same experience more or less? if you do, please share it here. Thanks.

Yes, the ratings are realistic here. Where did you play before?

I played on chesscube and after it got closed because of some kind of scandals, I played on lichess, but I just knew lichess and here early this year.

It looks like time is the big problem in your games. The only losses in your most recent games were because of time - but you were winning! With a little more time management, you can probably make it to at least 1400 without too much trouble.

Thanks for your observation! My problem is that my hands are shaking (just like Gukesh's hands when he realized that he won the world championship) while playing bullet or even blitz and it made my "mouse-slipped", wasting time and losing in the end. Not to mention that my internet connection got disconnected so many times during the middle or even the end games. I tried bullet 2+1, but I stopped because I guess I'm not ready for bullet games now. Now, from blitz 3+2 I changed into blitz 3 minutes without time increment because I want to train myself for bullet later on. Wish me luck! Thanks.
