2.5 years ago I was rated 443, and I just looked at one of my earliest games and couldn't fathom how that was me playing. The understanding and eye for literally anything was completely absent. I'm now 1600 and cannot comprehend having ever been 450, literally impossible

did you get to 1600 just by playing or did you also spend time studying openings and whatnot?

[@klatchabobby]

@@iok21a Idk if KZbin deleted my reply but the gist of it was that I don’t study anything, I just play long games, average game review tells me I play between 1600-2000, leaning more toward 2000 in the last three months, and I’m most likely never going to improve beyond 1600-2000 online because I don’t study and probably never will. And I started at 17

I think 100 ELO being the cap masks the fact that two 100 ELO players can be wildly different in strength. It's possible that if two 100 ELO players play 20 rounds against each other, one of them will win every single game because the other should actually be -500 ELO.

[@When_will_I_find_love]

I think you'll be fascinated to know that the cap in FIDE is 1000.

[@happypantsfilmmaker1797]

I also think that at that level its difficult to really score a player. As someone who has played a 100 in real life, they are usually very unpredictable. I think below 100 elo its basically a coinflip as to who spots the others blunder first.
