There's something weird here!

More and more I see low rated players playing above the level their ranking suggests, like this guy with white :


This is an almost perfect play and the time spent is unbelievably low. I have many other games like this one. I'm used to play very strong guys, but many of these 1900, 1800 and even 1700 players feel way too strong for their ratings. I think there's something very bizare going on in lichess. It seems part of those players are bots.
Of course I made a terrible mistake and lost the piece, but this is bullet and the other guy played perfectly all the time.
I've beat 2000+ before sometimes. What's wrong with playing a perfect game once in a while? ;)
To look on the bright side, there are far more cheaters and bots on chess.com than this website. Was so happy when I switched to lichess because I actually started feeling like I was playing people.
