How does this game work?  I timed out and then it gave me a "Blitz rating". I had no desire to play a Blitz game.

You played a live game, interaction with the other player is done at the same time. The time allotted for the tipe of game you had ran out, blitz games are between 10 and 3 minutes per side. Next time you play choose a time control you feel comfortable with.
