New Chess.com members are so good

Typically I would imagine those getting into online chess are relatively beginners without much study of the game as I was. Recently I’ve been crushed by opponents who level with me the entire game until a make a slight endgame inaccuracy. Somehow these new players avoid all tactics and play correct moves despite having only played 10 games ever on the site. Does anyone else experience this domination? What could be the cause?!

What is the time control that you normally play at? That can be a key factor.

Well, not all newly registered members here are newcomers, I suppose. I, myself, is not a beginner. But I chose the newcomer level because I prefer 'climbing the ladder'. And also because the higher level is scary. (Yes, you may I'm just a coward). I just take lessons, solve tactics and play the computer at the moment. (Additionally, I restarted the Chessmaster 4000 Turbo program).

I play 3/2 time control and have plenty of time to think and th engine rates my moves as good, but I feel like my experience allows me to consistently make good moves. However the other players are able to do the same

engine rates your moves as good? so I checked your last game you won, and 3 blunders 2 mistakes 4 inaccuracies. Nothing wrong with it. ppl with a few hundred rating points higher end up like that. was just interested about your claim.so I needed to check it out.
