I thought all EFC ratings were 3 digits? I guess that changed or maybe I am just dumber than I thought

Huge gains in your blitz! Well done! What do you attribute it to? Also, don't be surprised if it fall a bit in the future. Its normal to have some up and down on your way up.

Up until starting this program last week the last time I played blitz was this time last year when I played in an ECF charity event for Ukraine, and I did terribly. So huge gain will probably be down to the work I have put in in the last year. But I also seem to get getting around 25 + ratings per win. I think in one game I got 40+. And don't worry I am very used to rating lose happy
