Why are 900 rated players are better than 1200 - 1300 players

Of all the things that are not true, saying 900 players are better than 1200 players the most untrue thing I've ever heard.

I keep dropping back down into the 900s aswell slot of players probably learned a lot from the lessons and get dropped in the 900s an execute the lesson moves.. when I blunder I've fallen back into the 900s plenty of times .. look i might be there now

There 1200 instead of 800 elo maybe cause they're a creative bunch that over look there own 1 or 2 move deep blunders while us low tier 1100 to 900 players just follow known patterns an lessons an blunder to frequently

Because in 900 you fall for cheap opening tricks and don't understand openings as well as a 1000+ can. They only seem "better" because you can't punish stupid opening mistakes

Because they are. Ratings under 2000 on this site dont mean much really, especially in garbage speed chess such as 10+0 or faster.

900s are not better than 1000+. It's just a common thing when people are blinded by their ego. When I was 900+, I thought chess.com was against me and that I deserved 2000 🤣. More likely than not, we are at the elo we deserve.

Only one thing in my mind.....

936 AND WHITE IS 1420

greatest apologies for writing a joke on an actual question

No difference in strength between several 900s I've played and some 1800s:

Ratings below 2000 on this site dont really mean much.

I regard anything under 2000 elo trash, lol. On another site I've reached 1850 elo in Daily time controls without using databases and without studying chess, so if anyone can reach 1850 without reading a single book about chess, then that rating must not be very good.

My point is the elo bracket on this site is completely bonkers under 2000 elo. Especially closer to 1000

Honestly everyone from 600-1200 play about the same. I have played within all these ranges.

it's because of tilt.

your highest rating EVER was 1497, don't yap.

Takes too long to gain rating in Daily if you are not playing like 80 games at once, which i did several years ago at other sites.

Here on this site I was higher rated than my current rating at Daily, but I resigned most of my games a month or so ago after seeing how all my lower rated opponents, around 1000 elo, were playing almost perfect games.

I resign every game from a 1000 elo rated opponent if they dont play like their rating, that includes Live and Daily chess. This site's elo bracket is completely broken. Half the people at 900 elo in Lilve playing at 20-40 centipawn accuracy, with 80%-90% accuracy, and maybe 1 or 2 inaccuracies tops.

Ive been 1700-1850 strong at Daily on other sites through the years.

When you can beat 1600s and draw 2000s in slow chess like I do, come back and talk

it's so annoying playing so many games, I just want to abort them all, but can't :cry.

I played long time. I was near 1500 and i was as low as 800 or less.

900 players are DEFINITELY better than 1200/1300 players on average.

Sandbagging? Maybe. What I actually think? CHEATING. The algorithm needs probably for them to exceed a certain elo to get them. At times I find myself hoping that my opponent is bad at cheating, because many times it is the only way to hope for a win for many games in a row. You find yourself fighting battles of 80+ moves with opponents that make 2 sub optimal moves in the opening and then bang for the rest of the game. Don't believe me? Check the games I analyzed with the engine. The engine guess ELO 1500/2000 every time. How is it possible? Problem is that actually ban cheaters when they find them will make the website numbers drop dramatically. So chess.com (or should we just call it Chəaters.com ) don't act until they reach 1100/1250 rating even when they are OPENLY CHEATING.

Prove me wrong.

tons of people are using their phones for key moves to win.

The second I got to 1100 blitz I hit a wall of players moving 1 to 3 seconds per move, and most to nearly all moves are the top 3 engine moves.....

Theres zero reason to pay for diamond if there is this much questioning in regards to players who play far, far to strong at what is supposed to be beginning level elo... In my opinion. 1000 to 1100 is a beginner level at no point should a beginner be playing at a 1500 to 1700 strength....

A 1500 shouldn't be struggling to beat 1000s on a regular basis obviously theres something broken here and he has a point imo.
