Why do all the 900 to 1000 blitz play at 1500 to 1700 strength?

My last blitz the guy playes ok, but drop a queen to a obvious attack, but then from there on made best move until forcing me to let him regain a queen or not be able to attack and thus I tried to attack losing the game were was that play skill in the first 20 moves??? I just badly played a rapid 10 min this is blitz 5 min I'm talking about....

I've been trying to get better by playing 10m rapid games, but I still play them like its a 3m blitz game

bad habits are hard to break

When I play blitz then try to switch back to rapid I play terrible for awhile, because of bad habits from quick play.

LMAO, you crack me up. You claim reaching 2400 is sooooo easy, and have said in the past you could reach 2500. But we both know you are too afraid to play another rated blitz game. If you were sure you would reach 2500 blitz, why not try to? I doubt you would even maintain 2400 blitz if you played more games.

we ain't moving the goalposts again. you guys already asked me to climb from 2300 to 2400 and I did that already. i have better things to do than to waste more time after I've already proven my point.

@Pappa_Rodger, you shouldn’t bother with him, you outclass him by a mile.

I only went for him because I have seen how rude and obnoxious he has been in other forums.

well there are a lot of sandbaggers but even if you filter those people out there are a lot of people at that level who actually aren't that much worse at fundamentals, tactics etc compared to 1500-1700 players. they just hang pieces and make some obvious mistakes here and there.
