I don't think it's rice. Im a 800 range player and my focus mainly is to push my rapid rating. I hardly play blitz or bullet because i feel it's a waste of time and even when i do play it's for me to get warmed up for my Rapid games. I purposely play bad at blitz and bullet because my main goal is rapid rating. And, I use a separate app for puzzles because majority of us casual players usually dont have premium membership because of which there is a limit to puzzles and it's annoying, hence we use a separate free puzzle app altogether. I reckon that's why you see so many players in the lower ranges with low ratings in blitz/bullets/puzzles but still play good chess.

Also depends if you're playing your 'a' game or not, if you are tired or on tilt.

I would get crushed by him when he's playing well though. I can tell you that if I play when I''m tired or am on a big tilt I play really bad.

As a 1200 who was 900 a few months ago... that's just how 1000-chess is. Sometimes you get opponents who play with 80+ accuracy and know how to convert a game, sometimes you get opponents who play with 25 accuracy and blunder easy checkmates. My guess is that there are those who are "stable" at 1000, and those who are potentially much stronger but have lower elo because they keep blundering easy things, and the guy who won the first match was of the second kind - someone who can play better than the average 1000 elo but still struggle with consistency.

FIrst game is completely legit. Nelson burned his clock explaining things (understandable, as it's the point of this series), made a tactical blunder in the middle game trying to trap the rook, not seeing that it didn't work, and then blundered his rook in the endgame. There's no shame in losing to a lower rated player because you were distracted and trying to teach things, especially after a 72-game win streak, but there is a lot of shame in baselessly accusing that person of cheating because you fumbled a tactic and then blundered a rook. I understand cheating is a problem in chess, and it sucks, but seeing Nelson go down the Kramnik route of baselessly accusing anyone he loses to of cheating sucks even worse.

Nelson, I think the disparity in games 1 and 3 is that 900s dont understand the position. They don't understand key diagonals or files. At that level, they are able to see some tactics (like e6) but they don't actually understand the significance of what they are playing. The difference between games 1 and 3 was that you simply took over the position, and that was something you could have done in game 1. You didn't, which allowed the opponent some opportunity, but even after that, you still may have won if you didn't blunder the rook because your position is better. You're my favorite chess instructor, and I know opponents have cheated in the past, but I don't think there was any cheating involved!

In that first game he transposed into the Scotch game which looked a bit slick for an under 1000 player. Taking the knight felt like a beginner move since some beginners like to get rid of the knights because they're so tricky. That G4 move seemed like a mistake but setup their room for the 7th rank attack which seemed like an advanced sequence. Anticipating E6 seems advanced too because certainly anyone would've seen the bishop rook trap. That game was not the play of an under 1000 player. I do think you got a bit tilted after loosing the piece and then overlooked the rook grab. I also think they picked a rook instead of queen because there's less chance for a stalemate. A sub 1000 wouldn't inow that unless you they've studied the game a lot but not played much.

The worst blunders often happen after you already blundered something else. I hate when that happens. You blunder but still think you have good opportunities but a lot of times that's when you're in the worst state of mind. That was also a very very odd chess position. I can't recall many positions like that or even that endgame. As far as if the guy cheated, I don't think there was cheating. You had a better position, but it was a weird position, and I think he just got lucky with tactics that happened to be there at the time. I doubt he saw Rxg7 and e6 combo winning the knight. I think he just saw a free pawn, then saw the promotion. Of course the rook blunder was what really cost the game though. It was just the stars aligning for him to get you into an unrecoverable position. Another reason I don't think it's rice is because if you look at how he played, he played basically like an 800 would. He traded everything on the board and he did a lot of one move attacks hoping you won't see hanging pieces.

Personally I don’t think there was any cheating in that first game. I’m about the same rating and the pawn move was not impossible to see. You also would have won if you had not hung your rook. I got slaughtered in blitz when I started out… so I now prefer longer games. It’s the reason my rapid rating is much higher than blitz now (which was I think the reason you were suspicious of the opponent)

You still pretty much had him if you saw that your rook was hanging. He just had a really good game. Honestly though, if a 900 can beat a NM... that is interesting, and a statistical anomaly. Maybe he was underrated? All the same, I THINK you should message him and tell him he played well. Beating an NM at ANY TIME CONTROL deserves a pat on the back. If I beat an NM, it would be very classy if the NM told me "GG"- I think he earned it.

Nelson has the added pressure of trying to show cool tactics like trapping the rook and that could be the reason why he overlooked the threat from the pawn. Once that went wrong it’s easy to see he was demoralised, lost focus and lost the rook. We’re humans and we all have a bad game sometimes.

I think I disagree with most of the comments here. The guy had several obvious moves that took several seconds for him to play. I strongly suspect he is double checking some key moves with an engine while otherwise playing his own moves. He was way too accurate in the end game for a ~900-1000 rated player in my opinion. End games are brutally inaccurate for intermediate players.

It’s hard to say if the first guy was cooking rice.I’ve heard it’s a new trend that cheaters only start cheating when they feel they’re losing. This would indicate their accuracy is on the lower end since they played human moves up until the point they cheat. It’s possible he cheated on one or two moves and then Nelson panicked and blundered his rook, creating a messy situation on both sides.

Won most if I had 70+, but not uncommon to run into someone in that range who plays between 70 to 80 accuracy (was stuck there for a long time). I am around 1000 still and was wondering right away how you would deal with that pawn. I think a pure oversight and people in that range can capitalize on that often already, especially with your time situation.

I think a very important thing to keep in mind is that chess isnt transitive, meaning that if player a beats player b and player b beats player c that doesnt necessarily mean that player a would beat player c. If you are 2000, some 900 rated players will make you play like you are 1800, other 900 players might make you play like you are 2200. Its entirely possible that some 900 player could be really good at punishing the mistakes that specifically YOU make. However of course, since we are given that this 900 player is only really good against you specifically, if they play against a different 2000 rated player who doesnt make those mistakes, that 2000 player will look like they are 2200.

The move that allowed the trap with the knight was actually that pawn push from the double isolated pawn which the engine marked as a miss, which is funny considering that's what ended up throwing you off your game. The moves he played in the middle game seemed to follow a pretty straightforward plan, he just accidentally stumbled upon a nice position and was able to win the knight with a move that was somewhat obvious given that he was looking to free his trapped rook :) (of course, your rook blunder later didn't help but due to time you just moved to fast, you literally saw it 2 seconds later)
