Hmm. You played a tournament today.
It looks like you didn't lose to any 1500's today.
It looks like you lost to an 1800 and a couple of 1700's but beat a 1600. I wouldn't describe that a total rinsing.
You will get them tomorrow.
Why are tournaments so tough?

I love how everyone always exagerates everything in the forums lol
I like the idea of tournaments, but every time I join one I get absolutely rinsed. I have to prepare myself for losing at least 100 elo in one sitting.
A 1500 rated player will play a game against me with 2 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes, 0 blunders.
I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, I'm trying to figure out why the level is so high? Are there are lot of very strong players who only play tournaments, and hence there is an under-rating relative to normal live chess?
I'm willing to consider that it's just me choking also
