Sorry man, that just means you aren't as good as you think you are. I have free accounts on both and don't have any issues winning matches. You're probably nowhere near where you were if you haven't played in 25 years...

I'm anywhere between 1000 and 1800 depending on time constraints and I have friends pushing 2000. All free accounts. Don't know what to tell ya.

You are not getting the point... it is not about the ratings or win ratio, is about how fast you can climb the ladder to 1200 elo (like OP suggested) from 100 at chesscom/liches, 9 months is unrealistic without paying the "pay-to-win" fee, 2 years is more realistic timeframe to get that elo.

If you are think m wrong go start a free account and prove me wrong, you have less than 9 months to go up to 1500 elo.

Well, yeah if you only play three games a day, what do you expect?

I play probably 20 a day.

Look up chess speed runs on YouTube.
