@Toadofsky The one is as good as the other for he only plays Blitz.
Such entitlement. Man up.
Check out some chess traps lichess.org/study/JKrSCfUr
To others skip to number 5 that is a very easy trap made by me!

I meant number 6 sorry!
Two things here.
1. I understand what he means by polished trash. What he speaks of is likely players who are infatuated by their queen and either don't know or don't practice opening theory. However, their midgame is absolutely stellar. Usually these players reside at the 1300-1500 ratings in standard.
2. Why on Earth is OP only playing blitz?

#15 I think key to having a productive discussion would be to discuss facts, as I suggested earlier:
"Share a simple, concrete example of two successive games and we can discuss your XY problem."
"Share a simple, concrete example of two successive games and we can discuss your XY problem."
If you lose, you generally get paired with lower-rated players. The traps used by lower rated players usually are unsound, which is why they are lower rated. They're not pairing you with them merely because they use traps.
I think it's phenomenon as "Correlation does not imply causation"

In science observation disproves theory. It is a matter of how strong and how repeatable the correlation is.
And absolute interpretation "Correlation does not imply causation"
would imply everything supported by the scientific method is meaningless.
