If you think Rapid gives you a better representation of your skill level , you are delusional!

I do not think 10|0 gives a better representation of a player's skill level than 5|5 blitz. And, I do not think 10|0 is rapid. I think 15|10 is rapid, which is the best representation of a player's skill level online.

Exactly I agree with everything you said

And, by the way, yes, 5|5 is better than 10|0. But, it's really hard to find 5|5 games especially on 2000+ level. So whenever I play blitz, I play 3|0 or 3|2

100% agree with everything you said.

Beginners think OR hear that rapid is best for improvement and just copy each other, but in reality if you play 5|5 min constantly you will improve much more because of increment , then playing 10|0 so officially blitz is better for improvement!

But I do agree with you , that it's not as popular and 10|0 is not rapid etc... I agree with you

So my point is it depends and not just rapid is better ....

You have more time to calculate your move. In blitz 5|5, you have to make your move within 5 seconds to add some time on.

5seconds better , then 0 seconds when you go to an endgame territory
