Which rating pool is an absolute beast and hardest to crack !?

3|2 mins VS 10 mins VS 5|5 mins VS 3 mins VS 5 mins

Stronger the pool of players, the more deflated the ratings are. For example, if only OTB grandmasters played online, half of those grandmasters would be rated under 1200. If only absolute beginners played, many of those beginners would have ratings greater than 2000.

Which has more high rated players? How a 1800 (for exmaple) rated blitz player who only plays 3|0 compares in chess ability to a 1800 rated blitz player who only plays 5|0. Obviously the difference won't be great but I think it's a very interesting question, one that I have wondered before (a variation of).

Makes sense, but I'm not sure how many people are suited to answer. If someone plays a lot of no increment for example, they're in a sense specializing in it. They'll be worse at games with increment and similarly an increment specialist will be worse at something like 5|0.

For example lets say my friend and I are both 1800 OTB and both 1800 at 5|5. But my friend plays 3|0 a few times a week while I don't. I'll have a lower 3|0 rating, but only because I'm inexperienced (or perhaps I have less dexterity, or mental quickness). In this case would you say 3|0 is objectively harder, or just that as an individual it doesn't suit me?

Please stay on topic , thanks.

the hardest rating to surpass in my opinon is 1800-2300,this is where the talent and dedication/hard work really starts to show.Therefore becoming a 2300 player from 1800 or below is the hardest rating range to crack.

That wasn't the question that I asked, maybe you should learn better English, before answering or learn to read carefully.

"Which has more high rated players?"     I have found when I use 5/0, I am paired with people almost instantaneously.     this is the 1800+ class which should be considered "high" as statistically , it tells me I am higher Rated than 97+% of chess.com players.   

And because I grew up playing a great deal of 5/0 chess in the days of manual clocks, there are probably still many people of that era favoring that time limit on this site.

As far as chess skills of an 1800 in 3/0 versus an 1800 in 5/0,   my prejudice would say the 5/0 player has better chess skills, because he/she has to outplay people more often than rely on simple tactics or blitz the opponent to win on time.

I personally think that 3|0 is the hardest pool, based on pure observation( watching top games and taking interest in people's profiles) majority of GMs IMs, title players play this particular time control

very much sorry!!!

That's ok you are Russian, that's understandable

This is true if the pools are separated by different ratings. However, 3|0 and 5|0 are both blitz ratings, which means that players that plays both 3|0 and 5|0 will inflate deflated ratings and deflate inflated ratings. Of course the strong pool of players migth still be a little bit deflated, but as long as it is enough people that plays in both pools, then this should be small. 

r u blind

im gonna get of topic lol

who is the best chess player in india guys

definately TomBeGone DUH!!!!!

Every one typing in this forum but me will be reported by me Im an admin btw.

I think it varies with the player...personally, I'm terrible at shorter games...maybe because I need more time to think or tend to try and win the position rather than just time the opponent out. Just curious as to why you don't play any daily or rapid games??? No offense.
