Huge gap in Blitz, Bullet, and Puzzle Ratings

Sort:
Maizea

So I started playing chess again for the first time in many years at the end of 2020. I now have 5000 games total but I have one huge problem. My Blitz Rating is 1007, my bullet rating is 1654, and my puzzle rating is 2411!.

I play mostly blitz, but most of my ratings are static which I think might play into this. I have ADHD and struggle to focus for long periods of time which is why I think I might have trouble in longer time formats and sometimes blitz. This could be why my ratings are so static and distant, but I'd like to hear a second opinion.

I think there is a time control for everyone.

Personally, I come from a classical time control background before migrating to online chess and did not even know what rapid, blitz and bullet chess were.

Different time controls requires certain aspects of skills but you should be having fun at the end of the day.

I know there is no way I can keep up with bullet or blitz, but in rapid I have a chance to score decently.

That doesn't make sense in this context. My bullet is 600 higher than my blitz, but Chuck369's
 blitz it 400 higher than his bullet. Thats a 1000-point difference between time signatures. How does that correspond to being overinflated?

In my experience, whichever time control you play the most in is the one in which your rating is the highest.

Also, everyone has a massive gap between their puzzle rating and their rapid/blitz/bullet ratings.

That user is a long time troll, and you're right, their post makes no sense.

OP is strange because blitz has been played a lot more than bullet.

As others said it's normal to have gaps... but yeah, your gaps are strange, I don't know the answer happy.png

(puzzle ratings are always super high)
