Cheaters or smurfs ?

Hey guys .... so ,

I wanted to ask what is going on .... on some days i get normal players and on some days i get only godlike players that totally anihilate me . I report most of those that destroy me and i get messages from chess.com that they have been banned and get my rating back . But i don't get the discrepancy between the days when i get normal players wich even if i lose is mostly because of consistent play on their side or because i make a mistake , and the days where i get obliterated by 1200 players that completly destroy me .Im just wondering .... is this a normal phenomena ?
I have to mention also the players that play normal , i get a good position , they stop playing for like 15-30 seconds , and when they start playing again i get completly destroyed .... those i "like" the most ...

How would anyone know what the normal distribution is?  We each only know what we have seen.  There are millions of players here every day.  

The big thing which will affect your rating is the time you take to study chess and to learn how to play better.  What are you doing to achieve that?

So if i understood, you report the people who defeated you ? And the 15-30 lap is necessary if you need to think

I've never reported anyone, if I get beat I analyse the game, if there was an opportunity for me to win I try to understand it. You must be unlucky I guess

Then sorry, i never got something like that

I think ego causes someone to think that someone else is interested in using software just to undermine them. I have written about this witch hunt that I now feel is just inflated ego as if the world revolves around them.

I know I am at least partially correct because one my game accuracy varies so much and also because I get accused of cheating once in a while. I just get flattered that they think my game is atleast as good as a computer. Nope just a life long enthusiast too lazy to do real study.

thinking up to a minute is pretty normal in rapid and ok even in blitz..  bruh..   when I play classic otb I am able to think for a half of a hour and nobody thinks that its weird...

I feel like i get crushed in blitz often with this feeling but I don't think its cheating i think my perception of the 1200s i play in blitz being better than the 1500-1700 rapid players is mostly that I'm no good at blitz and panic and blunder when i don't get my 30+ seconds a move to think I'm terrible on instinct alone.   I very rarely feel like the guys i play rapid with are cheating in fact i feel like they are weaker than the blitz players  yet funny enough the only games I've got rating back for were in rapid.  Fact is I'm just trash at blitz and no matter how many patterns I learn I'm going to toss it all away in time trouble truth hurts.  I almost never play blitz anymore because I'm so bad at it.   I'm sure you will encounter some people cheating or smurfing but I'm betting its much less than you think some days you just don't have it and once you blunder that first piece even a novice feels like a mountain.

Time of day? Much harder during the day than late at night. I’m guessing the kids are asleep or better foreign players.

If analysis was free, there would be more fair play.

That's an interesting take i most play at night not im sure the format matters to is it blitz or rapid or bullet or what?
