I felt sub 1500 ELO are really good in losing position and get stalemated
Ive been playing chess for at least 11 years, this is something i personally felt but i dont know if other people experience is too.
I felt that sub 1500 players are somehow really good at creating stalemate, the funny thing is they are blundering a lot and lose their pieces in the early-mid game... i dont think they are cheating, i just think that this is funny on how they could do a lot of fancy stalemate traps, but lack on middle game tactics. Personally, i never and not able to do that (stalemate tactics and traps), and I rarely seen someone did that tricks beyond 1500 (like me, they would rather resign and move on)
Is it just me, or is it a phenomenon that other people also experienced?
