These 1300s are surprisingly good.

I remember 1300s having occasional blunders, but a lot of these 1300s are playing like gms. Can anybody enlighten me to why this is happening?

Over time, rating systems can undergo changes or inflation due to the growing player base and changes in the algorithms used by online chess platforms. This means that a 1300 rating today might not represent the same skill level as it did in the past.

^ This.

or they could just be Hikaru doing speedrun

Many players at 800-900 elo can easily do 25-35 centipawn loss games on >30 move games on this site, for some odd reason.

A lot of people call these issues in the lowest elo rating ladder down, but everyone goes "mad cos you lost" and other stupidity like that.

Elo in the lower brackets is completely broken, probably due to the huge quantity of players playing. It may become more accurate once you start getting to the expert level bracket of >1900, where the competition count thins out a lot.

Many 900-1000 elos dont blunder, even in 60 seconds with no increment:

Zero misses, zero blunders for my opponent. 40 centipawn loss game. Between two 1000 chess.com elo players, lol.

as a 1100 who sometimes playing perfect i dont agree, it just them in good mood or you in bad mood

1. Cheaters

2. you’re playing badly and it’s easy for your opponents to find best moves

3. 1300s are indeed somewhat decent at chess and could beat anyone that doesn’t play regularly or study chess. If you make bad enough mistakes they have enough ability to convert a win. If you simply don’t blunder they will eventually though.

4. Hikaru speedrunning

There's something called "making your opponents look like geniuses " it happens at all levels
