that's a rate of one losing blunder every 4th move. and although you'll probably be more careful in a real game, a 25% blunder rate isn't exactly helping.

my session average is currently around 95%.

1550-1600 CTS
1500-1750 RHP I play more games than most and have huge rating swings when I drink or study.

I used to have CTS solidly around 1700-1750, nowadays have no idea. RHP is less.

I think you could easily see yourself as a 1800 rated player, but only the level of your games aren't there yet (due to reasons you've stated).

I think you could easily see yourself a sa 1800 player, but not all of your games are at that level (due to reasons you've stated above).

No, it's not. Playing a sub-optimal move (CTS only allows 1 correct move) does not equate to a "losing blunder".

The CTS positions are constructed like this:

1: One good move;
2: All alternatives are rubbish.

Not always the alternatives lose immediately, that is true; but then it might be the difference between winning a piece and not winning a piece - then you might not be "losing" but you did miss a tactical shot.

or you mate in 3 instead of 2 and they dock you points.

I thought that was a child's disease on "chesstempo" - on "emrald" such positions do not occur for one to solve. [if you really believe your move mates too, probably you missed some characteristic of the position]

that's not true for chess-tempo either. Whenever I thought something like that, I found a comment left below the problem showing the fault in my line. If there really is another "very similarly good" move, it will accept it. However, if your line wins a piece instead of mating in 3, then it won't accept it.
