My Chess Rating Is The Same Across All Time Controls

I'm proud to say that after almost 3,000 games here, I have achieved a balanced rating in all types of chess games. My rating is 1036 in blitz, bullet, and rapid time controls (with biltz and bullet being at an all-time high).

It's interesting because I wasn't directly seeking this effect. Still, instead, I was focused on improving my overall game and making sure that I understood the different strategies and tactics that can be used in each time control. I'm glad my efforts have paid off, and I can perform consistently well at my level, regardless of time control.

My current strategy to transform into an intermediate player from a beginner is to practice more puzzles and to take my time during rapid games. I also wish to explore more openings, as virtually all of my openings are the same... which is why I can keep a balance across all game modes since I use the same strategy repeatedly (which is also a huge weakness). 

What are some other suggestions I should take into account at my level for improvement? 

Yeah, I feel like since I've been playing so much blitz and bullet lately, I seem to treat rapid as the same time control. This is why I plan to take more time during rapid to improve that rating. 

Who says rapid is usually 100 points more? I know a lot of players here with higher blitz or bullet rating than rapid.

Great achievement. I suck at chess generally and I suck even more in bullet chess. I don't think my bullet chess rating can come near my rapid or blitz rating.

Whoa, you have over 2000 elo in rapid which is nothing to sneeze at. As far as bullet goes, I'd say give it more practice. Since you've spent far more time working on your blitz and rapid skills according to your chess.com game stats. Best of luck, and hope you achieve your goal of becoming a GM.

He said hello 2000 times? That's an achievement on it's own.

No worries, I understand. I've been playing chess somewhat seriously for about a year but haven't studied much besides puzzles. I've been learning on my own through trial and error. Once I start doing more lessons and studying tactics, I should improve my game significantly.

It is usually that way, it doesnt mean its always like that,as for the reason for this, I think it is becasue the player pool for blitz is a lot higher, so its a lot more competitive over there (in the same venue 30 minutes time control is way too easy)

I prefer slower time controls, but at 900 elo on 30 minutes most players are still blundering moves that on 10 minutes players stoped blundering at 600 its actually amazing, and when I was 700 I tried having the same score on both blitz and rapid, but the people in 600 blitz played a lot better chess than people on 10 minutes rapid, this from an analisis point of view.

point is, if your rating is tha same on both it means your strong point is actually speedchess, and if youre better on blitz the same, you probably end up most of your games with more time than your opponent, or waste a lot of time in a few moves.

can't tell the  same - 1700 rapid, 1400 blitz and 1200 bullet for me...

That is a great analysis, and I agree that speed chess might just be my strong suit. However, I know I can improve my rapid by around 100 if I take my time, which I plan to do soon. I did like your point that if you're good at speed chess, you'll likely end up with most of your games with more time, which is valid for me. With rapid, blitz, and sometimes even bullet, I'll usually have far more time than my opponent. However, the downside is that I'll play too fast, and sometimes I'll blunder my way to a loss. 

LOL, that would be pretty funny. 

yeah, that said playing slower is easier said than done, sometimes when Im stressed I notice Im losing a lot of ten minute games with a lot of time left, then I switch to blitz or bullet and Im good.
