Considering ratings in: blitz live, standard live and online (correspondence) chess is it reasonable to admit that for a regular player the online rating shoul be the highest of the three? And that blitz live the smallest?

For me, that is the case.

That's the way it is for me too. Bullet is even worse haha

Essentially some players overload themselves with correspondence games and either time out or make moves subpar to their ability, boosting the ratings of players who are able to put their full effort into their games. In live chess, there is only one game to focus on. Of course, there are a few who operate better than others thinking fast, and for them, blitz and bullet will be easier, at least relatively.

It is for me, but considering the rating systems on chess.com, it's not really an accurate observation.
