How to become a good blitz player?
uscf
In your profile here on Chess.com it says you are FIDE rated and 1951. Which is it - Are you FIDE rated, USCF rated, or both? What are your rating(s)?
also my fide has been over 2000 i'm 1920 because i never play standard on chess.com that's dumb you play standard in real life.

? It's dumb to play long chess online to prepare for long chess offline? Where are you getting this understanding that it's better to play blitz online and long chess OTB if your goal is improvement. Why not just play long chess in both venues?
Other than because it's fun: Why do you play blitz? What area of chess does it improve that provides MORE benefit than playing long chess and studying the game? You keep seeming to not understand that more time should be spent studying the game than doing anything else. I digress: Why do you play blitz at all other than because you enjoy it? If you say - Pattern recogntion and tactical work - Why not just use a program like CT-Art combined with ChessTempo for that? Why play against some 1600 on Chess.com in a 5/0 blitz if your goal is longterm improvement in classical time controls OTB?
I don't play on chess.com for improvement. but I am allready at 1992 If you are 1200 then playing blitz is good for you-online

Again: What you are saying here is counter ALL advice that is out there for a 1200. All advice.
Nobody is going to listen to some rando on the internet who isn't even titled (you) when every coach and GM out there tells them to avoid speed chess at all costs. Nobody. You play it because you want to and because it's fun. Not because it provides any improvement to your long game. You should be spending your time (if you're a ~1900) studying, studying, studying so you can crack 2000 and start working on a title. No chess mind is going to tell you to go spend your time INSTEAD playing blitz chess on Chess.com.
playing blitz lets me know how well I am playing/ seeing
No - It doesn't. Your blitz games don't even resemble a 2-5 hour game and you know it.
what is your OTB rating?
Let's say it's 800: That would have absolutely no bearing on this discussion whatsoever. You still just DON'T GET that I'm not the one saying "based on my experience you shouldn't play blitz chess". Players who are FAR more experienced than you and much higher rated have been preaching for decades upon decades that speed chess should be avoided by players with serious OTB aims. If I was never born, this fact would be true.
If you can't comprehend that then you're are just a dense, stubborn, brick wall mentally.

You're clearly just trolling at this point. I can see you with your big, stubborn skull that's typical of the cliche "Krzysztof", sitting there at the screen wasting your time when you are, flat out patently wrong in the discussion and proven wrong in the discussion.
Unlike you, I actually haven't been playing the game my entire life and I'm already doing quite well because I don't spend my time playing blitz chess and arguing on Chess.com like you do. You do realize you said you were done with this a LONG time ago, right? Why are you still here? In the end, everyone is still going to avoid speed chess because they're told to. Kyrzystof's big head isn't going to change that.
Have a nice night.
i have been playing chess for 3.5 years
Well, I don't know how long you've been alive but typically you're not going to promote a healthy dialogue when you tell the other party "I don't care what you talkin hillbilly boy! Answer my questions!". You must work for the NYPD or something.
As said - Try and enjoy your night Mr. International Man of Mystery.
You done now?
There's no reason to not analyze the 90+30. Who would play a 90+30 and not analyze it and then instead analyze one of their 3+2 games? Obviously nobody - so your logic makes absolutely no sense.
Just keep playing long chess and analyzing those. Why would you ever play blitz if you have the opportunity to play classical time controls when you know that's the proven method of play to ensure the most improvement?
You, and everyone else who play it, play it because you enjoy it and it's fun and because when it's combined with TONS of long chess, can provide some benefits such as improved intuition, faster calculation, and a familiarzation of your opening study. That said, your time would still be better spend just playing long games and analyzing those as well as spending most of your time studying. There's never really any specific reason to sit down and play blitz if your goal is to improve. You play it for fun primarily.
Your standard chess rating on Chess.com is 1924. Do you have an OTB standard rating in your country's chess federation? Have a FIDE rating? If not, and it's not well over 2000, you are by no means better than 95.1% of the people who play chess globally. Where on EARTH are you getting those numbers from?
