On Live Chess I have the weirdest situation.  I've discovered that I am *terrible* at blitz chess.  My blitz rating is in the 1000s.  My long chess rating, on the other hand, is in the 1700s.  Anyone else have a similar rating (and skill) gap?  I find mine particularly hilarious.

Same here.  I seem to lose most of the games, that I do lose, on  time.

I do better with longer games.  Say, ten minute over five and so on.

I fall somewhere in the middle...i play those long games like there blitz-games...at that proves costly...  so rating in the blitz is 1530+, but in the long game 1190... go figure.  I get frustrated and move poorly in both...and i know it's the time factor for both!   I think I enjoy watching them and laughing most :-)

i don't get the live chess because the time doesn't get reseted when you do your move so i always lose because you do need to think about some moves for more than a minute
