Today's games? Tilted after I got yet another incredibly strong 900 player with just 1 inaccuracy. As I said I no longer care about the rating ladder on this site. Too strange for my taste. Im going back to play seriously to FICS.

Highest rated player there is 2600+ so Im 800 points away from the highest rated player on the site.
I've posted games on this thread which, if you look at them, are not the typical play of a 900-1000 player, yet everyone disregards that.
I also dont know where you get your numbers from because I analyse my Daily games with Stockfish and the Chessbase software and my average centipawn loss is always on par with club player strength. I do have some stupid blunders from time to time but on average that's that. For example, the game I posted on post #673 on this very same thread against a 2450 rated player on that site, which I think it's a FIDE 2200+ WIM. I obviously lost but far from a 900 elo performance, ok?
Im done with this site's elo, Im just doing whatever in my games now. Not a serious place to rank up considering the "elo distribution" lol. Rather go back to FICS or the Chessbase online service.
Are you seriously only 1800 on lichess? Dude that is so bad, get a life. And keep in mind that is Daily Chess not actual chess.
It's not lichess. And Im not 900 elo, Im actually around 1800. Deal with it.
How about we play a game now? What site is it? You aren't 1800.
Dont want my posts removed. Starts with a G.
It wont be removed after the recent update to the TOS. If you are 1800, why do you keep losing to under 900 rated players? Tell me the site, the rating system can be entirely different for example, 1800 on that site woild be 900 on this site which would be 900 ELO.
Ok then, the site is called gameknot. And Im not 1500 either. I was 1400-1500 for years though, but the last 2 years I learnt positional play and managed to go up to 1800. Just with that.

Honestly, who cares about other people's ratings, just focus on improving your rating. No one in this forum is some super GM, so we all have room to improve.

Don't let some suspicious play discourage you. You will get such games from time to time for sure. It is annoying, but sometimes it actually amuses me when I see some sick move played against me.
But on a lighter note, userbase here is massive, and you will get a lot of legit people as opponents as well. But of course, to each his own.

If all the 900s play unlike a 900 in your mind, wouldn’t they be 900?

You're not truly an expert unless you're one of the best of the best at what you do and you know pretty much everything that there is to know about it.
A 1200 is light-years away from being an "expert" or even a objectively strong player.
Since this is the first serious post I've seen in some time. I would say that a 1200 is strong relative to the general public and weak compared to the club player community (who in turn are weak compared to the pros). The term expert has a specific meaning in chess lexicon that refers to players 2000-2200 strength OTB.

Yes anyway I know my strength, I know Im 600 points away from a player who's around FIDE 2300, so my playing strength is probably somewhere within the 1700 FIDE bracket.
Which goes on par with the club players I've faced on the other site, and beaten, which claim to be around the same strength, many even 1800 or so.
Here's another great game of mine, against a player who claims was 1969 USCF a few years ago. Unfortunately I won by timeout but I was clearly winning and then made a bad move into a drawn position (according to the engine). Nd3 is bad, loses all the advantage. Anyway, he timeouted, but as you can see, I was clearly superior despite his attack.
Anyone can analyse the games I have provided and clearly see they are way above 1000 elo strength. So there.

I agree that 1 200 is of course not an expert rating. I know that it is a good practice to be humble in life, and I salute it generally. That being said, 2 000 can't be just an intermediate player. Expert in a chess sense is semi widely used term for a player that is not a titled player but is just below. In general 2 000 rated people are experts, because 2 200 rated people are either candidate masters or USCF national masters. Expert in some other field can be someone top of the line, in chess it is not the case.
Of course, that counts for OTB play, for online ratings it might be a bit different, but you are surely at least an advanced player. I understand what you mean however, being rated around 1 600 myself, I understand that I know just a little. But even though that is true, novice players know much less.
So even though you just know a little bit of something, you would still be able to talk hours upon hours about chess with someone who is starting out. I know the feeling, even though you can become a better player, you can always have a feeling that you don't know much.

Agreed. A 1200 compared to the general public would seem like a grandmaster at Thanksgiving dinner with the fam.

Me who is 99%:
That says more about the weakness of most chess players than the strength of you. It's like ping-pong: you might think you're good at ping-pong, trust me, the true experts will beat you 21-0 every single time.
I would score at least 3 points. I have a hell of a serve.

Being 1800 on that so called site doesn't make you an 1800

Are you seriously only 1800 on lichess? Dude that is so bad, get a life. And keep in mind that is Daily Chess not actual chess.
Who cares what his lichess rating is, doesn't give you the right to criticise him on it. I could say the same for your rating.
