I've been on a bullet binge that past two weeks. My rating is down and my blood pressure is up. I think a walk in the woods will reverse the trend.

I only play group match games . . .

One game as white another as black . . 

There are never any insults or arguments . . .

Usually they are 3 day moves and they are matched up according to ratings . .

They are signed up on the groups you belong to . . .

I set a requirement to coach someone of IQ >40, so you would have no hope.

So, what is your improvement / USCF rating after "learning" from streaming and blitzing?

I don't stream but I've gotten a lot better combining blitz and rapid games on chess.com with classical. the balance is extremely helpful. my otb classical level a few months ago was 1200 (those were my performance ratings), now I get performance ratings of 1700s and 1800s, and am climbing up

Your USCF rating is 1267.  No idea what you mean by a performance rating?


I am USCF A Class, but also have the USCF title of Category 1. This requires a performance rating above 2050 in five events. 

Something like that anyway.

 

A 1287 with regular performance ratings of 1700+  quickly rises well above 1400 unless they also have frequent performance ratings of 1000.

 

I had performance ratings in the 1200s in two tournaments that I directed and unwisely also played in to avert anyone getting an involuntary bye. Each one dropped my rating about 50 points.

Blitz chess in 5 minutes to be more precise.

The other is like training or learning not really play in chess game. 

 

1 minute too fast for me and if I would play at this time it is finally as a training for when I find myself in difficulty of time in blitz.  

10 minutes good put if position don't really like, example 1) e4-d6 2) d4-e5 3) dxe5-dxe5 4) Qxd8+ Kxd8 the time becomes too long, not really fun.

Long time is work for me and if lost, I lost a day, I don't like games in long time.
