Blitz games are better

I’ve started playing more blitz because I suspected my opponents were using an engine in longer games. After each game, I look at my opponents profile. I’m regularly beating players rated much higher than me in rapid games. Looking at their profile, they win 55-60% of their longer time games and their ratings are much higher than mine. On 5 minute games, they lose the majority of their games. Are my suspicions correct?

The longer the time control, the fewer mistakes.

     Of course GMs study chess. And you admit you lied about my saying playing classical is NOT the way to learn to play chess well. Putting things people never said into their mouths and ignoring their replies is par for the course for you. And then you wonder why your "revelations" never convince anyone that you are right and so few people here take you seriously.

I do have to give the guy credit.  I don't think I have ever seen anyone here argue as badly/as much as he does.

Its common sense,  I also haven't been ingrained with most chess myths since I only started to play chess 3 months ago.  So I have a more unblinded perspective coming at it more openly minded in more modern times.

More like Dunning-Kruger.

Yes, he’s a nice source of entertainment. However, it does make me feel the future is dim looking at him. I mean, who knew people could be so foolish?

The only thing that is foolish is failing to address any of my points and resorting to personal insults.  What that shows the world reading this,  is that you've conceded.

Look, man: I don’t want to argue with trolls. It just makes me lose neurons, and it’s a stupid argument on the Internet. It’s simply a waste of time.

Let me first say that i understand its always the previous generations job to complain about the next generation.  But this generation I truly feel for.  Im not saying its entirely their own fault, as they have had to deal with more than I did.   But I have never seen a generation that is so impatient, has the attention span of a goldfish, and feels so entitled.  Blaming everyone and everything and not taking responsibility.  Ok that is my old man rant for the day.

I'm saying studying and practicing chess to learn how to play blitz well,  does not mean playing classical.    Which is what you claim you were ignorantly implying.  I don't expect to convince anyone from a 100 years of brainwashing,  but thankfully that is changing among the top professionals and  the larger chess communities.

     Let me say it in terms you may be able to understand: GMs ALL honed their chess skills playing hundreds of classical otb games. Of course they studied endings (techniques developed in myriad classical otb games), learned opening theory (developed and tested in thousands of otb classical master games), and then learned how to apply their knowledge and abilities by playing many, many otb classical games vs strong competition. NO ONE ever became a top-flight player by playing nothing but blitz and bullet, no matter how much they also read theory and solved puzzles.

     You still can't come up with a single example of my claiming anything other than what I have just said. You say something and falsely attribute that opinion to me or falsely claim I somehow implied it. Just because the reality of good chess play is beyond your understanding is no reason for you to continue to lie about what others have said. This big lie technique may have worked for Hitler (among others) but you don't seem to be as persuasive as he was.
