how do lower rated players play so well
I have plenty of games that I am bluffed
by the series of precise moves that my opponent managed,
I feel like I have to play like a machine to beat them,
I dont mind doing so against 1800 rating or above
but I get infuriated, not today but sometimes
when I see such a rock solid chess at the bottom of the learning curve,
that is patzers.

Yes there are games with mistakes and We both play badly, etc
but my question is concerned more about the opening.
Does everybody study a ton of theory or what
cause the game feels so hard even at the bottom
