You're playing in the tournament, yes. But you're not playing for the trophy. I've made it clear 10 times or so. I've seen two posts of people at your level whining about getting opponents 500-1000 points stronger while being in 2000-4000th place. (turns out, one of them is right in this thread, #30) Is that the experience you're seeking for?

It's like when you play football in 5th division or so and suddenly think you're ready to join a premier league club. Because that is about the number of performance levels between you and a 2000 like me, who already has slim chances to make it.

Stop bitching on my wording, y'all. I made a short frank post, nothing worse. It wasn't that bad to earn 19 dislikes. Not even close.

Yes, I am playing for the trophy as I'm playing in the tournament, I have the hope to get the trophy
You don't seem like a bad person, the whole point of me making this topic was for curiosity and hope of getting the trophy, but the way you delivered your message, like countless people have pointed out was not encouraging. Hopefully you take this as a good lesson to be nicer in the future! Have a good day :D

I finished #602.

And it's actually really hard to play in a marathon. Even if you're ~2000 level, you'll have huge losing streaks.

2025 Spring Marathon

My Standings # 919 out of 21169 players.
My Performance:1712
My Games played: 221
My Win rate20%
My Berserk rate84%
Average opponents I played against 2071

I got 134 points
Trophies went to the top 500.
If I had 217 points, I would of got a trophy.
I stopped 2 hours before the end.
I still needed 83 more points to be in the top 500.
I did not have streaks of wining, which would of helped a lot to increase the points.
I quickly resigned when i blundered or when I was a piece less than my opponent.

#135, 445games: 1940 perf, 19% winrate against people who average 2244, 100% berserk rate!
I think I played the most games in this marathon, sometimes it was frustrating and depressing (I had a 30 losing streak once)

But overall, I think it was worth it.

I had a dream marathon, not many losing streaks, a lot of draws for easy points too. And last but not least, the extremely Lucky ending where I managed to finish #100 after losing the last game. I was not extremely down throughout the marathon thanks to the supportive tournament chat and my dear friend @Acrobat31

Overall, these were my stats:
Rank- #100
Total Games- 275 (W/D/L = 94/42/139)
Perf- 2221

I got record blitz rating(1791) while gaining 100+ rating points. I feel like it easier gaining points later in the tournament playing usually against stronger opponents(avg opponent rating 1958).

I'm just looking at your stats ... 38 games played, 12 points ... Post #43 says it all as well.

There is no lesson of mine to be learnt, you won't ever convince me of the sort of "niceness" that ignores reality.
