Good in Rapid & Bad in Blitz?
Sort:
Try bullet games for a few weeks. You will be probably wrecked there but do not mind, do it. Then switch to 5 minute blitz games for a couple of weeks. And then go back to your 10 min blitz. You will be much better at using your 17th piece - the clock, with only a little compromise in the quality of the game. And this will improve your time management in rapid chess as well. Like in body building or weightlifting - your record weight or any other single weight is not necessarily the only one to train with.
Hi, so as the title says, I'm doing well in rapid and bad in blitz. I have a 7 win streak in rapid, but I also have a 4 loss streak in blitz. Can someone explain why is this happening? Is there a correlation between the two? My games this week are usually a 50/50 combination of 30 min rapid and 10 min blitz. I started playing longer time controls because I have a tournament with a long time control this week.
