Why do I suck at blitz and bullet so much more than Rapid?

have you tried the Gooner Gambit? Gooner Gambit: e6 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Bd2 dxe4 5.Qg4 Qxd4 6.Nf3

so ur saying black gets the first two moves, a white pawn somehow appears on e4 and u take it, and a pawn appears on d4 and u take it, and then Nf3 and they cant take cuz their queen hangs and ur better even though ur down two pawns or smth??

Brilliant 👏

When I was 1280 in rapid I was 1200 in blitz but now I’m 2045 in rapid and only 1606 in blitz.

you now too much chess. and you need to analyse too much.

This is a good problem to have. Much better to be good at actual chess rather than being a bullet degenerate and unable to play chess as it was meant to be played. I'd suggest trying out an OTB tourney.

Ah yes. I suffered this earlier this year I think. My bullet and blitz were 300+ points higher than my rapid. But, then all you have to do is to just FOCUS on that time control and look. Now, I am 2065 bullet, 1856 blitz and 1818 rapid. The gap has closed.

The Rapid pool is grossly overrated, usually inflated by 400 or more points, your blitz and bullet rating are closer to your real strength.

then why are many people higher rated in blitz+bullet than rapid

Avatar of DrawingShades94

Because they don't play rapid as often, strong players of 2000+ in blitz usually don't play rapid, check out the titled players profiles , they only play blitz and bullet online, i recently played some rapid games and won the majority of my games. Once you get to 2000 you get paired with a lot of cheaters, strong players and titled players don't mess with that crap.

Daily 1150, lightning and bullet 400. Guess our brains has decent capacity but works too slowly.

You call blitz lightning? Guess you don't like the German version. Blitz is lightning in German.
