10 + 0 is WEAK

my free time is too valuable to waste.

Idk what you are even saying lol

I like when my opponent abandon the game. I just annoy them by telling them I reported you I guess.

this is what i was responding to.

why so serious? :3

I have so many issues with this post that I'll have to make a list.

1) What I said only applies at the 2200+ level. At the 1300 level, Rapid ratings are, on average, 200 higher than Blitz ratings. That's because the vast majority of 2000+ players play Blitz and/or Bullet exclusively, while most sub-2000 players Rapid as well, if not exclusively so. This renders the sub-2000 10|0 pool weaker, and this pool is extended to roughly 2200 due to the corresponding rating inflation. However, past 2200, only the few true 2000+ that play Rapid remain, and their ratings are deflated by the occasional encounters with 2000+ players who don't play Rapid regularly, and whose Rapid ratings hence haven't yet caught up with their true strength (which is the majority of 2000+ players, as explained).

2) If that "other website" is Lichess, I'll have you known that the ratings there are inflated by about 500 points at your level, so your discrepancy makes sense. The ratings of stronger players are so low because most of them simply don't play correspondence chess that often, and their ratings are therefore inaccurate. The discrepancy makes perfect sense, although I don't know how it's at all relevant to my original post.

3) I already mentioned both that my statement only applies at the 2200+ level and that your true strength is the one indicated by your chess.com rating (1300), but my statement was about averages, anyway, so even if your claims were valid, they still wouldn't refute it. 

4) Your example of Jason R. only proves my point. If his Rapid rating was lower than his Blitz rating, then he would indeed, statistically speaking, get crushed by someone whose Rapid rating was the same as his Blitz rating. So I don't know where you were going by bringing him up.

 No, it's not Lichess - it's an exclusive Daily chess website - and Im only comparing myself to the people who claim a FIDE rating in their profile. If someone is 1800-rated like me, but we don't even know if he's FIDE rated at all, then there's no point of comparison.

 If I am regularly beating club players at a certain time control, it means I play at that level. 

 No, the true strength is not "determined by your chess.com rating" at an arbitrary time control that you choose. The only thing my Rapid 10' 0'' rating in chess.com indicates is I am rated at this number in chess.com at 10', nothing else. 

 If I am playing at another time control and I regularly beat players who are FIDE rated at a certain range, then it means my strength at this other time control is what it is, regardless of my blitz or hyperbullet rating on this site.

 I know you all enjoy having a good laugh when a player that's 1100 at 10' claims to be 1800 strong at some other time control, but facts are facts. 

*PEOPLE PLAY AT DIFFERENT STRENGTHS AT DIFFERENT TIME CONTROLS* 

You would never caught me dead doing this kind of thing at classical time controls

 and you would not caught me dead thinking barely a couple of moves in advance with no positional or long term strategy considerations in a longer time control either. 

 Hence, that's why Im roughly 600-700 points stronger in longer time controls than Im at 10'. You seem to think if my 10' here is 1100, that's my strength overall and that's plain wrong. 

if u want omegalul

10 + 0 is simply not a good time control. Everyone knows that the player pool in 10|0 is WEAK. Playing speed chess 24 hours a day will do NOTHING to improve your real chess. I bet more than half of the people who spam speed chess every day don't even play otb and just waste their life shuffling pieces. Chances are you will play 10+0 for YEARS and still be staying in the beginner's pool. It's not really even chess because everyone is moving too fast. If you load up some 15+10 or 45+45, just watch as your rating plummets to the depths of the earth's core. This is because you have spent all your time crippling your skills playing 10|0 and not real chess. It's obvious that the ratings on here for rapid that is established by 10+0 mean nothing. Everyone knows that 10+0 is the softest time control on the entire internet. You don't see these kinds of people constantly spamming speed chess in other chess sites such as lichess and icc. I am disappointed with those of you who constantly play 10+0 and other forms of speed chess.

just kidding lol

Chess is such a weak game, which is why you guys have got such weak ratings.

Try some real hardcore games, like Tic Tac Toe, or Head or Tail and you'll see the difference. Alternatively, you may want to try Loto.

I’m personally a scissors main idk about you but research have shown that scissors only loses 33% of the time, and wins/draws 66%! Those are some pretty good odds
