Why is my blitz much lower than my rapid? Am I just trash in faster time formats? I'm very used to 10/0, previous to that it was primarily 15/10 and 30min games that i would play a crap ton of. Not sure if my actual chess skills would be better off playing rapid 30min games, 15/10, 10/0, or blitz games. What time format is the best to improve chess skills? Longer time control?

It’s pretty common, if you want to get got at blitz, get better overall and play blitz consistently. That’s what worked for me

That's nothing. So I am around 1200 - 1300 bullet player. What I find funny is that half of my opponents are 1700-2100 rapid, the other half is 500-1000 rapid. And both these groups playing equal 1200-1300 bullet games. Explain that to me....

Why is your blitz elo lower than your rapid? Because you are better in rapid than in blitz. You played more than twice more rapid games than blitz, it´s not quite common. Also, there are many specialists in concrete time controls. For example Andrew Tang (penguingm) is maybe best hyperbulet player in the world but in classical he is at most average grandmaster.

In order to have a good blitz score ; I believe a person has to be good enough to perform everything that you're good at in longer games; instinctively!! The solid moves and reactions that you have in a longer format should be so ingrained that you do it with our much thought at all. When you can make sound decisions instantly; then your true strength will show in your blitz elo.
