 have observed an interesting phenomenon.

I am just a 1400 Blitz player with a 1700+ Daily rating.   After all, you get 2-3 days to think about your move!  And looking at myself, I figure I'm just part of the Natural Order of things.  More time, better moves.

 And so I just assumed that most players would have a higher Daily than Blitz.  BUT there are a significant number of violators of the natural order of things. 

There is a fair number of blitz and bullet players in the low 2000's who are 300-450 points lower in their Daily ratings!!

This was puzzling to me.  How can this be?  Having won some daily games against OTB USCF Experts and other 2000 players I decided to ask one of them.  He said he only takes very little time to think and make his moves in his Daily games.  This is exactly what I thought was happening.  

So it makes sense and it doesn't make sense.  My question is: Why play Daily when you treat it like Blitz or Bullet?  Just play Blitz or Bullet.  

P.S.  Some 2000+ blitz/bullet players simply time out on Daily losses.

personally I think my bullet rating is 200+ better than my daily rating simply because I play faster than most players. most of my won bullet games I should have lost if my opponent would not have timed out
