!! 1500 !!
Two days ago, the 1500 level of 5 min blitz was crossed. I'm approaching 1700 in 10 min rapid; however, 5 min blitz has been my favorite to play. When I created this account, I set the range to the lowest up I think +25 pts, and a low on the other end.
What I've experienced at 1500... games are cleaner, less chaotic, a little more thinking. yet the accuracy I'm getting is much less. There was a game I won against a 1500 with a < 70 accuracy! It still rated me as playing on a 1500 level. The highest I've ever been rated was 2200. In that game, the moves were easy, and rmore eactionary. I guess acccuracy has some limitations of how well a person played, for it also depends on how the opponent plays.
For laughs, I can't seem to get up in 1' blitz, I'm still stuck at 800 level, maybe it's more of age although my children would disagree... Here's to 1500!
