Hi :) i was just wondering why all of the US players i play , seem to be way better than their rating here om the site indicates ? :/ Like a European 1050 on the site is considerably weaker than
a US player with same rating :0. Anybody else also experience that , or is it just me ? Have fun in The weekend

I play anon games online during all sorts of hours.

It seems certain times of the day I run into good players, and other time periods I get a lot of terrible players.

So depending on when you play, maybe those near your time zone are just waking up, or about to go to bed. Maybe the US players you're playing are at the time of day they're focused and rested? (I don't know what time of the day that is, but just guessing here).
