For some strange reason, my rating went up from being around 2,000 for years to mid 2,100s. The guys I play with at 2,100 lever are making way more mistakes then 2,000 plus players used to do. Sure, those are all 1 min games, but still something is off.
It feels like most of those players are computers and their rating is adjusted a bit too high.
Did anyone else see anything similar to this?
Ps. I used to play on a different site that was only for paid subscription, but when I realized most of the opponents were computers, I stopped playing there, even though I had more than 2 years left on subscription
It means youve improved
I've had the exact opposite experience. For a long time, I won about three games for every one I lost. But now toddlers beat me and then spit up on my shirt for good measure.
In other words, our own chess abilities change over time. You're apparently getting better. But I, on the other hand, am now apparently ready to run for president.
Sure, it's a joke. I don't have a painter for a son.

I wish that was the case...but one doesn't just jump 200 points over night and stay there
For 1 min, the tower traffic plays a huge role. Play at night.
