Do any of you guys think I can become good Im 13 right not and my true rating is 1210 I need to play more games this is different account
you're 13, you dont go to university or have to worry about working a 9-5 nor anything similar, and you have access to basically all the resources you could wish for, you're at the best time of your life to become good at this game, so yes, you can
In blitz and bullet you don’t necessarily THINK. You use pattern recognition. And that’s earned over experience and how long you’ve played. Or theory. But rapid you actually get to think and use your understanding and mind, not just memorizing
I agree about this
i disagree. i dont think you get to think in rapid either. 10 mins is too short

How about 15/10
The time control they have the most games on
So if I have the most games on bullet and Im 1500 but on rapid im 600 Im considered an 1500 player?
no, I would consider you a 600 Elo player
It depends on your current experience level. For most chess players, rapid will be the most reliable indicator of ability because they have time to think and play more accurately. There’s really only two main exceptions I can think of where rapid rating wouldn’t be as reliable as another time control (namely blitz).
Exception 1: The player “mains” another time control and hardly ever plays rapid. Some people play pretty much only bullet/blitz, so in that case, blitz is the longer time control they are active in and probably a better indicator than rapid that they hardly ever play.
Exception 2: The player is rated over 2000 in rapid already and especially if over 2200 rapid already; in this case, then there’s a general shift towards playing more blitz at this level, so eventually blitz might be more accurate for them.
The reason for that is a bit complicated, but short-version is that players rated this extremely high in rapid have to wait longer for their challenges to get accepted, so it benefits them to just shift to shorter games where there’s generally much less waiting for a game to get accepted.
At higher level, there are a lot of cheating going on in slower time control.
I just started USCF and FIDE, there’s g/90+30s there, and that rlly lets you think
Each game is like 3 hours
really? whats ypir elo?
*warning* ⚠️ 1500 USCF players are usually 1700-1900 on chess.com. I asked
