I dont know why but im playing better against higher rated opponents, I've beaten 4 1800 guys on another website (its around 1650 rated here) with random tricks, meanwhile 1500 rated players (its around 1350 here) can spot these tactics quite well? lol

apparently the more advanced players fall into newbie tricks while beginners don't

Or the 1800 ratings on other sites aren't comparable. 

Except to 1300's here.

Lichess has way a higher rating than chess.com, and based on the playerbase it should be about 150 lower here
