People just want to improve.... who cares about numbers. I can take some 1800 players from 3 different countries and you find one group much weaker than the other. I found over the years i needed different skill sets to beat certain players.
Before i came to chess.com all i did was attack the king side and was very successful at it. But the players here have to too much experience defending against all the direct king side attacks and add the members here have a larger knowledge base than other sites. So i had to learn more chess theory which i had at the time enough to make just a foot note. So when i see a player shy away from theory too much i learned hot to take advange of them....... some of the times.
Also when i came here i thought my knowlege of openings was good. Not. Since then i have doubled .....no 10 times what i previously know and still growing. Bla bla bla.
We all prefer to win but if i lose i prefer to play a good game and lose. Playing bad and winning my way to the top......ugh. But if in a tournament i take the win and figure out later what went wrong on my side and how my opponent did worse as maybe i did something to confuse them(might be good after all).
In High School when i was on team B. All we did was drills that allow us to be stronger players. We assume we make a mistake or forced into a bad situation and work on ways to get out of it or minimize the damage. We were gritty and grind it out. So if a high rated player thought they were going to get an easy win...... no forget that if they thought they were going to win and in our house(at our school playing a game) they better think twice.
So to wrap this up with the right set of skills anybody has a chance to win at any given moment. That is why we play the game. Flashing your 1800 rank card is not going to make every lower rated player cave in and resign before the game even starts.
?? If it is a secret then how do you know it.
?? If it is a secret then you should not know it that is the point of keeping a secret. Tell know body.
?? If you tell your students then it by all means no longer be a secret.
The secret is out!
