Strong players win lots of games, pushing their ratings higher. Chess is an exceedingly fair game. Some just get better at it than others. Smile

Play a lot of games, lose a lot of games, study your losing games, and you'll begin to win games.  Win games consistently, against increasingly difficult opponents, and you'll earn a rating like that, too.
