This could be just my luck my experience on chess.com is that ~1300 and above are very difficult to beat. After a couple years I played a few games this week and I thought I had improved but chess.com is tough. I'm not a great player or anything but still here on lichess you get mixed results, victories do come against higher rated players. 1300-something players making crazy sacs for positional compensation like sacking a bishop for two passed pawns ** in the middle game ** and posing some serious problems, even winning. This is so maddening. In one game, I won on time but the opponent got marked for violating the fair play policy, but his sacks and play were just like others. I wonder whats going on there. Is a 1300 chess.com really stronger than a 1700 lichess? (no disrespect intended)
I came back to lichess immediately to see if I was playing real bad but I won a few games.
Has anyone had similar experience there?
