I have noticed that my Rapid online rating has always been approximately 200 rating points higher than my online Blitz. I am around the 91st percentile in rapid and in the 75th percentile for Blitz. Am I just simply better at a Rapid time control, or is the player pool just weaker?
Does anybody know this answer? Thanks!
no blitz is just enough time for security, but not enough to think. This makes it harder for general people, but easier for prodigies and sly people.
I like blitz because with one click I am able to be paired up against titled players around the world. Look at my last 3 games for example—two of them were against titled players. I do not think this would happen if I were to play a 10 minute game for example.
the other thing is if your 2000+ unless your relatively old (like 50+ or smth) thinking pretty fast is relatively easy with pattern recognition if your actually good at the game
