Why do all the 900 to 1000 blitz play at 1500 to 1700 strength?

that was a rapid, not a blitz, and the opponent was abvove 1100...... Not 900.....but yea ok...

Yes, your opponent was stronger, with more time to think, and yet both of you played quite poorly.

yes I played terrible both those. I always seem to suffer when trying to switch between fast and slow games.... Not sure why that happens...

very rarely do I encounter 900 blitz who play as their elo suggests. Often its best move nearly every move and sometimes with a three great moves or brilliant thrown in.... Outside help? Tons of experienced players??? Seems really strange imo.

they dont.Your skill is low thats why

They don't. As a 2000 Rapid and 1700 Blitz I believe I could confidently crush the players you're playing against. Unless you were a 1700 Blitz might I ask how you know the strength of those players? Maybe I'm wrong though and you're smurfing or something, but it seems to me that you would have no inkling of what that elo range is even like.

as a 2400 blitz player I would have a hard time against the players you're playing against

i've looked at some of your games and your opponents are playing too well, way above their rating.

Blitz just aint for me...

Short answer: they dont

Long answer: they don’t, unless you’re checking the performance rating from the game review, which is complete bogus anyways. If they played like a 1700 they’d be 1700.

Solo, I understand the frustration. You must also realize that the accuracy can often be skewed by the opponent. If my opponent doesn't play well, then my accuracy goes up as I take free pieces or play 'great' moves when I see a tactic. In this case, at your elo, a high accuracy game is easily achievable when there's blunders to take advantage of. As you get higher it becomes harder to play with higher accuracy because there isn't always a blunder to take advantage of. Simply put, the task becomes much more difficult, which is why the review rating and accuracy are often inaccurate. My best advice is to just keep playing and be patient with your progress, and when an opponent beats you fair and square, try to figure out why it happened rather than just marking it off as sandbagging.

I agree some what, but theres alot of selective use going on, people using to win in certain situations to satisfy a ego, not a rank. These people all put up a powerful performance in blitz then you look at their rapid thats 400 elo lower, odd imo..

Avatar of Sololevelingsirjohn

I quit, I can't win to save my life in blitz here and these are the 900 unskilled players here according to everyone. Playing near perfectly even if they drop a queen, perfect reactions after till they win on time or postion....

They don’t

We need someone to analyze this guy's games to know if the players are like very good or he's just bad.

Avatar of Sobrukai

No analysis necessary, the vast majority of players- especially at the 900 level- are clean. He’s just complaining because he doesn’t want to put in the work to improve.

if i give away all my pieces every move, then all my opponents can play like magnus carlsen easily.
