Some things have been bothering me on chess.com lately, hopefully someone will know the answers
1) im playing someone rated higher in blitz 2000 than they are at daily chess 1700, how is this possible when they have much longer on each move in daily, this should be their highest rating? They have played lots of games in both. I also played against a CM (candidate master?) who when the tournament started was rated 1900 in daily chess, as the time went on his rating got lower and lower and is now 900 or something silly. I also notice there are quie a few titled players with daily chess ratings in the 1700-2000 range, is this right or am i better at chess than i think seeing im only 200 points away from the same level.
2) in the opening explorer it gives you moves played and the percentage of wins/loss/draw for each colour. I use this in daily chess to get through the openings sometimes, especially if i want to try a new opening or someone plays something i havent seen before Are these from games by grandmasters only? are they only for classical games? I slipped up using it recently in daily chess. I played 1.e4 e6 2.nf3 d5 and now here the explorer showed a move that had 67% win for white, the French defense perseus gambit 3.d4 So liking the look of that i played it and then my opponent plays the obvious dxe and now the percentage has swung in blacks favour massively. What have i missed?
Blitz and bullet ratings are independent of daily ratings. The leaderboards for blitz and bullet top 3200 while the top daily chess ratings are around 2600.
