Why isn't my rating as high as it should be?

I play at a 1050 level, but for some weird reason, I'm still stuck at 850. If you look at my previous games, you'll see that I win almost all of them. For some reason, I've just become better at chess lately, and I want to face stronger opponents. Help!

I believe the only way to play against better opponents is keep playing and getting higher game after game. I would also tell you that before getting to your actual ELO, you'll find a lot of people who are better than their rating, wich wil dificult your way through games. Good Luck!

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I found that taking a slight break after a losing streak from chess really helped me become better. But now I can't find any good opponents!

Oh and in my personal experience, i actually started a new account to start again fron a higher level cuz i was too lazy to go from 450 to 1200. Yeah, my case also happens quite a lot.

Yeah, I noticed, you started six days ago. Will you accept my chess challenge?

maybe try setting your seek parameters to -25 to +200 or something so you tend to be matched with higher rated players?

Avatar of spicychickenboba

Well I checked back and hey, it looks like whatever you did, you got your rating up, nice
