Overrated?


Sometimes kids play on parents' computer! If you think beating him makes your rating too high, maybe you post to ask for a decrease? IDK, or just just ELO take care of it naturally (although you may suffer a few defeats).

I have beaten players rated much higher than me about as easily. I chalked it up to uncharacteristic blunders!

I've moved a piece, saw immediately it was the wrong move and before I confirmed it, my phone slipped and I caught it by the confirm button. Saved the phone but lost the game, so overall still a good thing.
I've come back to a game knowing what my next move was to be, except I forgot we weren't there yet.
You name it, I've blundered it.
And some people are overrated, I've been there too. I don't have all that many games played, so my rating changes a lot, and it's definitely gotten too high when I won a few games that I didn't think I would or should have won.
Like mgx says, ELO will catch up sooner or later.
