Any help, i have a theory but i doubt lichess will tell if correct.

At the beginning of the month my i studied hard on only 2 openings, Vienna for white and french for black. I studied and studied these openings until i knew them well.

This had a dramatic affect (dramatic for my level) and my rating shot from 1050 to 1351 in two weeks and it stayed around that area for a while. Just from using nothing but these openings alone i managed to beat my highest ever by over 100 points. So obviously i kept doing what i was doing.

HOWEVER, now my rating has dropped dramatically and these openings are not working on any of the players i am being paired with. I am now consistently being put against players who wipe the floor with me using these two openings. It really did change suddenly, i was winning with 8 win streaks, beating 1480 players and getting my highest ever rating but now i cant even beat 1150s using these very same openings.

My question is, do you think that lichess has some sort of code that will recognise my openings and use an algorithm to put me against players who do very well against these openings in an effort to stop me from winning using the same thing over and over?

PLEASE UNDERSTAND I DONT HAVE ISSUES IF THIS IS THE CASE. IF IT IS THE CASE IT IS A GOOD THING AS IT WILL FORCE ME TO LEARN MORE OPENINGS. I am just very curious as to why i hiked up my rating and then slid back down so dramatically and suddenly after such a good run.

Any ideas as to where i have gone wrong or what i can do to get back to my 1351 rating.

Thank you.

"My question is, do you think that lichess has some sort of code that will recognise my openings and use an algorithm to put me against players who do very well against these openings in an effort to stop me from winning using the same thing over and over?"
- Certainly not, this is close to paranoia.

Your level of play has nothing to do with what opening you play. It has to do with tactics: both seizing opportunities your opponents give you and avoiding making mistakes yourself.

Yeah, you are lichess‘ public enemy #1. They want everyone to win against you.

Or has it something to do with the date?

You are mistaken. Lichess isn't doing anything against you.

It's the government, actually.
They want to keep you struggling in chess so that you don't have time to think about breaking out of your hamster's wheel.

However, now that I've told you, they will know that they can't keep up the charade and will make their next, this time more physical, move.
You're welcome.

I am not being paranoid. I actually think it would be a logical way to get people to learn a variety of openings and not use the same one over and over as i was doing. I dont think lichess is bad or against me, thats laughable. If anything it will help because it has forced me to look at other openings and look into my play more then i did when i was winning. ALSO i am not saying this IS what lichess does, i was ASKING if they have a system to help others learn other openings and put players against players that win a lot against the openings that i kept using. Which would be a reasonable idea to get people to learn.

@Sarg0n I didnt say that lichess had anything against me. That would be ridiculous. What i am asking is whether or not there is a system to get people to use more then one opening (WHICH I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH, AS I SAID IN THE ORIGINAL POST). I think it would be a good idea (as i said in the original post again) as it would compel players to learn a variety of openings and not use the same one over and over as i was doing. Where did i say i was being victimised. It seems like people on this forum just want to flame the questions instead of actually reading what i asked and giving advice to lower rated players.

DID YOU EVEN READ HALF OF WHAT I WAS ASKING, or just jump on the bandwagon to let me know how great a player you are (which is relative im sure you know). Did you not see the words "PLEASE UNDERSTAND I DONT HAVE ISSUES IF THIS IS THE CASE. IF IT IS THE CASE IT IS A GOOD THING AS IT WILL FORCE ME TO LEARN MORE OPENINGS" in my post.

The few people i know in person who play chess are quite humble but these forums are full of huge egos and a blatant desire to show how crap low rated are. You may be a better player at chess but a chess tourny doorway. Dont you think i know i need to improve, am i accusing or blaming anyone for my low rating or am i just asking a question?

I asked for legitimate reasons. The reason being i was winning with the openings a lot (for me) and that suddenly changed and i was curious as to why because had not changed my play. AS I KEEP SAYING, EVEN IF LICHESS DOES ACTIVELY HAVE A SYSTEM TO COMPEL PLAYERS TO LEARN MORE OPENINGS THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING, I AM NOT COMPLAINING AT ALL.

What is wrong with asking these sort of questions? They are not accusations.

@ProfDrHack
Your sarcasm has such wit, congrats. One thing, would you please tell me where you got the idea that i should move? I have done nothing wrong, its not a complaint its a legitimate question. All i ask is why has the openings i repeatedly used (as i am a beginner, which is a delight for you to hear, no doubt) when i have changed nothing.

It IS LIKELY to be just peaks and troughs of my gameplay but i dont KNOW that, hence the question. After a while does the programming spot users openings and put them against players proficient in defending against them is what i am asking.

If i knew it gave you such an opportunity to flaunt how great you are i would do it more often because im a nice guy and i suppose YOU have to have something to feel good.

@ProfDrHack @Sarg0n @tpr
So why have you all been triggered by a simple question that you seem to have mistakenly taken as some accusation of a lichess conspiracy. It was just a simple question of whether or not licess does do this or not, thats it nothing more.

@tpr thanks for the info about what it is i am doing wrong, it seems you are the only one who answered without being triggered and without having to feel superior. Thanks

A simple "No there is no programming to help/compel players to use and learn more openings" would of been a lot more constructive for a beginner like me but i suppose it doesnt give the same kick as a sarcastic, arrogant reply does it now.

Have a good day. Just try to remember you may be a better chess player but think about why you feel the NEED to show how great you are to people who are just here learning.

"I'm not paranoid, but I know you all think I am...."

God, nuffsed81 did not ask an insulting question. No need to mock him so seriously.

But there is no such thing, @nuffsed. Maybe you were playing in a rush after you had studied chess so much. With black, I almost always play the same opening, and there was no such opservation.

But the rating can easily be quit volatile. My rating was over 1950, now it is alway around 1700.

That is indeed a legitimate question/speculation, as it is possible to code the pairing like this.
I think you drew the fire with the title's phrasing "I doubt lichess will tell if correct", as if it's some secret they are keeping from the users.
But in the post itself you explained yourself very well, so all the mockings are redundant.

You play such openings from which the opponent can not evade. Therefore, you will receive them in your game constantly. While you are interested. For a beginner you have a good start to play chess and solve problems lichess. Try to play blitz in such a way that time does not press on you and you make good strong moves. In General, control the clock and keep a stock on the move. Personally, I'm with my Internet can play a 5 minute blitz. It's fast and there's almost always time on the clock. Also even better 10 minute party but slower. I looked at your stats in task lichess, you can add more when your calculation of options accelerate. In General, as has been said almost all parties are solved in tactics and you need to master it perfectly. According to my estimates, 2400 rating will be enough to have a game rating in the blitz around 2200. Your debut repertoire is very good. French protection is solid and reliable. The Viennese party is very good for action-Packed game and game on

Let us look at an example
The loss has absolutely nothing to do with the opening.
On the contrary, white was completely winning after black's blunder 3...Nxe4.
The main shortcoming by both players is playing too fast
