I started playing on chess.com recently, and found myself losing against very low rated players (I'm talking about 1000-1500 classical). Most of them didn't know more than 2 moves of opening too.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same or has an explanation for this. I feel that the somewhat old layout of chess.com is less user friendly, the board isn't so clear too.
If I import these games I played on chess.com into lichess, I see I made mistakes I would normally never play here on lichess. Very strange. So I'm a little puzzled here.
( I do know that lichess ratings are overrated and chess.com ratings slightly underrated (under 1800), but I lose against players that know no openings, that make a lot of beginners mistakes and somehow I make them too)
(The only reason I started playing on chess.com was because I wanted to see how I did in a different player pool)
