Recently I see a lot of players which peak in rapid is 2000 or more, and in blitz is 1900-2000 or more, and now they're around only 1700-1800 blitz rating.
It is obvious that their skills are higher than most of the 1700 blitz players. Have you noticed this too? I am asking players on similar level.
What is the reason for this? But please just don't sell me this crap that people have lost skills, it's not just that. It's huge, a lot of players have it, I see it often in my opponents. Maybe the 1900-2000 blitz ranking is now harder to achieve and maintain here on Lichess, so many players are now unable to maintain their ranking at this level and drop to 1700-1800?
Your thoughts?
