In the past, players around the 1200 level mostly reached that rating by memorizing simple openings like the Italian Game. Nowadays, however, 1200-level players often study and memorize more complex variations similar to 1400-rated players. This makes the games at the 1200 level stronger and more challenging than before. The widespread availability of online platforms and training resources has greatly contributed to this improvement.

Because there are loads of very experienced players that fill the lower ranks. This devalues the elo and thus your 800 is actually a 1000 and your 1200 a 1400, and so on.....

Pretty simple everyone at your level will be strong.

Because if you're playing against a guy at same level he will be strong, for me 1200 is decent. They can make right decisions but fall at long term plans and tactics

Sometimes we just trust that our opponents are making good moves and we dont punish them for their mistakes
