what’s going on with 1400/1500 players?

For the last couple years I’ve been consistently around 1600, occasionally getting into the mid 1700’s mostly playing 5min, but in the last couple weeks I got smoked off a few hundred points and I’m now regularly getting beat by 1400’s. I do analysis after games and the engine estimates them at like 1800-2100 consistently, it’s crazy making. I’m not an amazing player but something seems unusual. Anyone been seeing this or am I trippin?

Well, from my pov it seems like bots or people using engines, but reviewing their profiles they seem normal… maybe my game just fell off super hard but I can’t imagine how these dudes are evaluated at 2100. IDK

Game review strength is not accurate. Their true elo is accurate. I am ~1500, but sometimes i play like 2500, sometimes like 500. We are humans.

I feel like for me 95% of my games me and my opponent get higher then our real rating
