But the live con is only bullet or blitz, and not standerd, so I think it doesn't count as a con for live.
Live or Online?

Why do you think you are playing against 'weak'players in online chess? Do you know most all of the strongest chess players played correspondance chess (what Online Chess is modeled oafter)? They all say it helped make them stronger players.

I think cfvb means that he thinks that (chess.com) rating determines skill level

no because standard is still much faster than online

You can't really compare them. So you prefer online to live? And 45|45 (which counts as standerd) still isn't slow enough for an impatiant being line you? Standerd is anything faster than 10 minutes

no a sore loser is someone that plays someone who they know they can beat and they brag about it
You're comparing them so the chess.com community can decide.
Besides, which one do you prefer? live bullet, right?
like...?

Well, I suppose something like this happens in any type of chess. I know a guy right now who has a 1900+ rating but only plays people 300+ points below him.
But this is the minority, for sure. You will find lots of serious chess players in Online Chess. You might have to actively seek them out at times, but they are there.
As for your OP; I play 3 time controls: 3day/move, 30/0 and 10/0. For me, each of these time controls serves a purpose in my chess development.
I have mixed feelings about which is better... live chess or online chess (on chess.com). They both have many pros and cons.
live- pros
gain experience for quicker games, etc.
cons-blunders are more likely in quick live games like bullet
Online- pros
you can thouroghly understand your games, moves, stratagies, etc.
cons-
not good for impatient people(like me :P) and your rating won't really tell your overall ability if you just keep playing weak players over and over...
What is the chess.com communty's favorite? I'd like to hear what you guys like better... Live or Online?
