for a very long time I've been playing 1800-1900 then about a month ago finally cracked 2000 for a little bit. then a week after that I've been on the craziest losing streak and can barely keep out of 1500's. I mean 1600 players are doing things 2000's couldn't even come close to doing. is this a slump or something else. seriously considering deleting my account and not wasting my time anymore. any advice?

Everyone suffers slumps. You will turn it around.

the site makes extensive use of bots to normalize your rating.

this means youll hit a string of 1750 “players” who play like 2100, youll be powerless to stop them as they are bots.

It looks like chess.com has fake accounts, created by chess.com. And those accounts are not humans, but a computer. So you are playing against a computer but not a real person. Interesting how chess.com suspends or closes people's accounts for using a computer to cheat, but they are the biggest cheaters of all. It looks like Chess.com is basically this new world government. They can manipulate any numbers they want, not just chess ratings. I sometimes lose more than 15 games in a row, when that happens, I know that I am playing against a computer. That is when my rating drops 200 points in just a few days.

custom seeks:  only play those with a higher rating.  you'll probably lose more than you win but your rating won't take as bad a hit.

if any of your recent opponents were sandbagging, they will eventually get caught, their accounts terminated & the rating points on those games reversed as they adjudicate a win for you.  🙂
