"How much does the amount of games correlate to rating?" ++ Not at all.
"Is someone with way less games and the same rating a more talented player than someone with way more games?" ++ The one with less games learned more from them.
"I see some players with 10,000 to 50,000 games on this app but are still 800-1500?"
++ They repeat the same mistakes.
"Does that mean that their brains just dont work with chess?"
++ They do not learn from their mistakes.
"I think maybe 3000 of them were bullet though." ++ Bullet and blitz are worthless for progress.

I see some players with 10,000 to 50,000 games on this app but are still 800-1500??? I just dont understand that at all. Does that mean that their brains just dont work with chess? Are they not smart enough? It's genuinely puzzling to me. On the other hand I've seen players with 1000 games that shot up to 2000 plus.Β
Personally I've had maybe 9000 games across all my accounts since I've stared and my peak rating is 1950 something I think. I think maybe 3000 of them were bullet though. I know it's hard to improve playing that exclusively like I did for a while.Β
