My theory is that the chess boom of last year raised the bar for everyone in the beginner-intermediate level. Your content has made it so that people rated 800 are playing 1200 -level chess, but by playing other 800s with similarly high abilities, rankings don't fluctuate to reflect improvement. It feels it was easier to reach 1200 in blitz a couple of years ago than it is now.

[@Ninterd2]

@@Chodor101 I'd say 900 or 800 is where you become an amateur at chess, rather than beginner. You know that attacking things is useful, but don't consider repercussions of careless play. But I could be talking out of my ass here. Levy can try to justify the moves by explaining why it's a good move, but if the follow up isn't what he thinks, he'll have to sort of figure out what strength a player has who would have a subpar or different plan.

[@D4n21]

Does Gotham not realize how much of a difference 3 minutes it vs like 10 minutes??? At this level you can get games with really bad accuracy because they're blitzing out moved without thinking. Then when you switch to 10 minutes you get 90+ %accuracy, especially. This guess the ELO should REALLY include knowing the time format upfront, there's a solid 200 rating point difference from 3 min to 10 min games

[@every116]

That's a great point. There can be a huge rating swing even among the same players simply because of which time format the game is being played in.
