> I just experience wrong numbers. Good players at 800-1000 and why don't they move up then? Find it more fair in tournaments. Might stop with quick pairing or expect the stats to be shot down forever. I don't mind losing 200 rating and move up later, however, it's looking bad in my opinion.
I don't know who you are playing, so I can't say exactly - but I do know I was 900 for a long time despite being closer to 1100 in strength because I barely played any games. After I decided to play in a lot of tournaments, I gained 200 rating in one day. I can't prove anything, but that might be what's happening maybe if your opponent has only played 6 games. I remember I was extremely low rated because I lost six games in a row when I first signed up to Lichess.
They could also be sandbagging or doing something else, in which case don't listen to me.
