Body: <p>I have two phones and two different accounts on chess.com. In the first one I always play naturally and my level is around 1500. But in the second phone I always sacrifice the queen in the first 3 moves (getting the pawns on f7, f2 etc.) and then i play naturally. What is unexplainable is that even in the second phone my level is around 1500. It looks like that if I don't sac my queen I meet strong players, but if I sac her, I meet weak players.</p>
  <p>An explanation?</p>

  I have two phones and two different accounts on chess.com. In the first one I always play naturally and my level is around 1500. But in the second phone I always sacrifice the queen in the first 3 moves (getting the pawns on f7, f2 etc.) and then i play naturally. What is unexplainable is that even in the second phone my level is around 1500. It looks like that if I don't sac my queen I meet strong players, but if I sac her, I meet weak players.
  
  An explanation?
