You cant compare rapid and blitz ratings, they are 2 cometely different things
does the gap between rapid and blitz decrease for most people as you go up?
Sort:
I rarely play rapid and my rapid rating is almost 200 over my blitz

Does that mean that as your rating increases your ability to see patterns quickly gives you more of an edge compared to weaker player? Idk, I'm just guessing.
I'd say that as your chess understanding increases, your need for longer time controls decreases. You become better at identifying (and/or recognizing) the needs of the position on first glance.
I see, that seems to make sense
It works both ways. As your chess understanding increases, there's also more to consider. Weak players tend to play fast and not everyone likes blitz. Most people probably think bullet isn't actually chess. I know I think that.

I don’t know… all I know is I suck so hard at lower time formats. It makes no sense, as you’d think having ADHD would make me more suited to blitz and bullet but I just start to freeze up, I think.
1800 rapid, 1500 blitz. 300 points of difference! I don’t play bullet, really and my win percentage would suggest that I could get it up by playing it, but it doesn’t feel like real chess to me…

"ll I know is I suck so hard at lower time formats"
Cheating detection at lower time is not working. Why? Because I suppose it's considered to be a lucky game. I watched a stream from GingerGM about how to go from 900 to 1000 elo rating, he lost 2 games and he is GM.
And what I notice when cheaters blunders early in the game, they start playing perfect chess.. Yesterday in a blitz game, a player blunder knight at 4 move , he got 92% precision game
I know that a lot of players when they piece up start playing very bad chess (just trade pieces and go to the end game, like me in this game), in this game, I blunder knights later on. But when I analyzed the game, It was a draw (just +1.12), even with my knight up (2 moves before I blunder a knight).. How is this even possible with 1400 elo Blitz player?
42, moves game, 1 blunder, 4=normal move, rest was top engine move.., 0 mistakes.
How he is not a cheater?. Even to lower down his precision he could take my bishop at the end of game he did not, he picked up a lesser move which was not a mistake.
Cheat detection is not working on lower time formats.
After blunders, perfect chess This is not detected.
Yes, the game quality is obviously better, but the player pool is also stronger for whatever reason, at least in my experience. Back in the day @Ultimate-trashtalker said so too.
I'd accept your 1+9 challenges but if it was unrated which i guess defeats the purpose
