2000 would be a lower estimate on my otb rating, but for some reason I really suck at blitz. I recently broke 2200 in the online chess category, and decided to start playing 5 min with 5 sec increment and seem to be around 1600-1700. Almost all of the games i lose are from a clear blunder that I would never make in a tournament. I even see that I blunder before my opponent moves. The blunders seem to occur when I move fast to save time, whether i am in time pressure or not. Has anyone else experienced this great of a rating disparity? Have you been able to bring the ratings closer together?
My OTB ELO has just dipped below 2100 but my online rating here is also very low. I far prefer to use the Tactics Trainer to playing online chess because it is not exactly easy to have a conversation with your children if you play online chess at the same time :-)
