I've got a real problem with blitz. I normally play bullet, not bad I rapid (ratings 1500+) but I constantly lose in blitz. I always thought that blitz isn't harder than bullet... Does anybody have same strange thing and how to improve myself?

You just play some 2/1 games and you will be quite familiar to blitz

In a bullet, my maximum rating is 1560.I play blitz when I win.I only play rapid in tournaments very rarely.

Honestly, playing 5 minute blitz is very useful.

First off, there are 5 min tournaments (USCF/FIDE rated)

second, it helps your quick tactical vision

I think that blitz players are better than Rapid and bullet players of the same rating. For example, to show what I mean, if you were 1200 in bullet, blitz and Rapid, and played a 1200-rated player in blitz, and bullet, and Rapid, I think you would find it toughest to win at blitz. My blitz rating tends to be 100 points lower than my bullet and Rapid ratings, and I think this is simply because of the better blitz competition. One might think that bullet should have more experienced players, but I think there are a lot of youngsters playing bullet that can be beaten quite easily at 1|2 or 2|1.
