Guys many of you think that I am a weak chess player because your ratings are very higher than me. My ratings are very low in rapid just 953. Before joining chess.com I thought that I am a very good player. because I did beat my all my friends and my elder brother and my father. Now I realise that how bad I am in chess. I still not reach 1000 rating in rapid chess.I think all chess.com players are strong I already said that bullet is not my type. but i will try to improve in blitz and rapid. Can you give me advise about what should I do to get better results in rapid and blitz chess?
Tactics, tactics and more tactics. That is all. I was in the 500 range and im getting better. Good luck.
It is easier to learn chess basics at a slower time control--then your blitz will naturally improve.
I could also beat all of my friends and family and thought I was good (I was 15)--then I played in my first face to face tournament. I found out that not only was I not very good, the C-players who beat me were not very good, and the A-players who beat them weren't the best either! I was amazed to realize that it was possible to be very good at chess, and got hooked.
Specifically for fast chess, try to find a simple opening that you like and play it all the time--this saves time on your clock. "System" openings like the London or Colle can work well.
And what Eater said--practice tactics. To be good at blitz you have to be able to see basic forks and pins in your sleep.
Try both right? Fast and slow time controls, I used to play 30 minute games on here, but gave that up because I felt that a blitz game would make it more honest, and I feel that win or lose at least it was fair. Seems it would be more difficult for someone to use "extra help" in blitz games, but regardless my rating on here went up afterwards. I increased my tactics on here as well. Thats what has helped me anyway.
1. Tactics...tactics...tactics...
2. Play slower time controls.
3. Review your games.

Until you hit 1400 hundred range the main thing is just not blundering , games 1200 and below are exclusively decided by blunders, as long as your playing something reasonable at is ie symmetrical e4 defenses and queens gambit declined

Play more tactical chess
Probably some of the worst advice possible. It ranks right up there with "Play better moves"
What exactly is "tactical chess?"
I was referring to darklink's remark
