500-700 are they now stronger than before?

I have been offline on chess.com, trying to study for my exams but I came back after 3 months to see that the 500-800 level player are now a LOT better than before, did some update wreak the point system? or are some of my opponents using AI? or am I just rubbish at chess now (I was a 900 before I stopped playing, Today I have 524 and will probably lose some more points).

Dont be one of the people that accuses everyone of cheating, cheating is more common in lower levels like where you are(at least from my experience) but don't think everyone is cheating, because if you do then when you see a move you didn't expect you thing automatically is a top engine mve then you get real sad and end up blundering

I am not accusing anybody of cheating but like you said it is a possibility that people can cheat and with the development of AI, it will become even more likely.

You took a 3 month break and now you're worse... that's the expected outcome for any skill, not just chess.

Sounds about right, but still before I left 700s used to blunder queens

Everyone blunders queens, it just depends how much pressure you can put on them.

You can find videos of top GMs blundering mate in 1 in rapid games... but only when their opponent is also a top GM.

I have a theory. If all the 500-700’s (ME) are getting better simultaneously, then, although they are better, everyone else is too, causing rating deflation (basically ratings being worth more). You weren’t getting better while everyone else was. Therefore, that would be the reason why the 500-700’s seem stronger, cause they are. But that’s just a theory. A CHESS THEO- ok fine I’ll stop.

Yes. Site is loaded with cheaters. I could not have gotten 50% worse

Oh, everyone blunders queens, do they? How utterly profound. Thank you, Socrates of chess, for that enlightening wisdom. I suppose I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that top GMs occasionally have a human moment—how comforting for the rest of us mortals scraping the bottom of the barrel. But let’s get one thing straight: you’re not a top GM, and you’re not even remotely close to one. So the fact that you're blundering queens left and right isn’t some noble shared experience with the grandmasters—it’s just proof that you're an absolute amateur who can’t keep track of basic material.

Do you actually think you’re putting ‘pressure’ on anyone? The only pressure here is the strain on my patience listening to this drivel. Top GMs blunder when playing against other top GMs, under intense, complex situations that would melt your feeble brain in seconds. You, on the other hand, are blundering in your little sandbox games against players who probably forget how knights move half the time.

So, please, spare me the ‘even the best make mistakes’ nonsense. You’re not the best. You’re not even close. You’re the human equivalent of a chess tutorial pop-up message—annoying, repetitive, and easily dismissed.

This is chat GPT. lol write your own comments

I just took a look at your profile.

Not only are you sandbagging in bullet, but what on earth is that club you're in. I'm pretty sure the background image of that clubroom violates chess.com's TOS.

Oh, please. It’s really not that complicated. This isn’t some high-tech conspiracy involving ChatGPT or anything like that. It’s just a simple case of human misunderstanding, and you’re just looking for someone to blame. Maybe if you paid a bit more attention, you'd realize it's not all about you. But hey, keep making it about ChatGPT if that makes you feel better.

Lol, you're a member of a scat fan club that's clearly against TOS with three other admins named IB-extremist and Ib something else. I'm halfway sure that each of these accounts were created to respond to comments in the character they're named after.
