having finally reached this goal I set for myself, it means I can FINALLY STOP PLAYING FREAKING BLITZ for a while.

I generally just play Blitz unrated. That way I get the quick chess fix without any concern for my rating.

Is there an easy way to set up an unrated game?

New game; Custom game; select time control; click icon for rated/unrated.  You may have to wait a little longer to get match.

I would play unrated blitz except I play to get that rating higher lol

For me Blitz is just fun, as I'm basically not very good at it 🙄

Deranged

Congrats OP! That's a huge milestone. How long did it take you?

it probably took around a month to get from 800 to 1000. before that i had been exclusively playing rapid for a few months climbing from 900 to 1200. i actually don't even like playing blitz, I just didn't like looking the low rating.

You could play perhaps on this basis each week if you still wish to play blitz occasionally, for example. I assume that you play chess for at least two hours daily.

 

Day 1: Rapid/Long

Day 2: Rapid/Long

Day 3: Rapid/Long and some Blitz

Day 4: Rapid/Long 

Day 5: Rapid/Long

Day 6: Blitz only

Day 7: No chess

The same situation is with me.

I wonder why do many men have their Blitz rating which is much lower than their rating in Rapid Chess?

This is reflective of players' lack of performance with tighter playing conditions such as reduced time. I'm pretty sure that players who have rapid ratings much higher than blitz ratings are unable to handle the complexity of faster time controls, but can otherwise play solidly at longer controls.

Yep. I’m working on it, but thinking quickly is just not my thing. I miss too much

how would a faster time control have any connection to complexity?

Let’s generate some hard science on chess improvement. I’m trying to recruit for a chess improvement RCT for amateur and intermediate chess improvers.
