The Great Reset - Second Chance Account

I saw the last topic and didn't want to say anything because everything was clear. Here however it is not.

Those games are very short, and basically his opponents self destructed. They lose a piece within first 5-10 moves and quickly resign. Accuracy itself can be misleading.

Of course, I can't be certain based on OP's short history here, but if I were to look at it impartially, that is how I would do it.

@DoYouLikeCurry I'm jealous of your last name I like it much better than mine

You know, one thing I noticed is that there are moments in the two games that OP has won where the moves demonstrate understanding of certain things. If OP can see that checks are forcing moves and spot nice forks, then maybe they have a chance to break out of 400 pretty quickly.

That said, long-term improvement would hinge upon actual enjoyment of learning these concepts and not chasing rating for its own sake

Out of curiosity, why do you focus so much on speed chess? And why is it more fun? Haha sorry, im quite curious

It is far from a perfect level accuracy. That is the thing with accuracy on chess.com. It has changed a year or 2 ago in a way to give false readings for lower rated players. Basically if you play the same game he did, your accuracy would be 80 and something. That is how caps 2 works. It takes your rating into account to kind of encourage weaker players.

Just look at this graph before and now:

And when I say they self destructed, I mean they left piece hanging fast and it was easy for him to win because they just resigned in 10 moves after a lost piece.
Look for instance one of these 2:

9 move game, and almost half of his moves were forced after his opponent torpedoed his pieces. Of course, as I said, I can't say for sure, but let's not rush with accusations. I get that he brought it upon himself because of the first account, and somewhat arrogant behavior, but let's wait a bit before we draw conclusions for this account.

I like to play for cheap tricks. I also like gambits and other dubious openings, and I love swindling and flagging people from losing positions. All of these things thrive in blitz and bullet. It's just what I'm best at and what I enjoy the most.

Classical and rapid are nowhere near as interesting to me, which is convenient, since at my rating, if I wanted to play long time controls online I'd probably be playing against an engine in every second game.

LOL nice
I'd heard of people like you, but I guess I didn't fully realize that they existed....that's awesome.

Speaking of - what do you think of OP? He was banned yesterday for cheating and has got a new account. Cheating again?

That is a common misconception, I for instance only play 60 minutes and 30 minutes per player (had to in order to play some higher rated people).

Engine users don't need that kind of time, they can easily win 5 or more blitz games while I finish 30 minute per side.

There are some, but less than you would expect.

At GYG's level, I think concern for cheating is WAY more immediate than at yours/mine.

Oh also, guys, check out the difference in openings in OP’s losses and wins. In the losses he’s out of theory on about move 1 or 2. In the wins, he suddenly knows how to play the Sicilian defence. What??

Sure, but nobody is playing really long games at his level. 10|0 ok, but that can't be called a long game, in FIDE terms, that is actually still blitz.
But even if they did, it wouldn't be worse than blitz at that level, because one can easily cheat in blitz as well as 60|0 game. I would actually say that a cheater would prefer to play blitz because of that.

also does anyone know where @nklristic got that graph? Or did he just make it? It was cool
