Blitz - Harder than the rest.

I find Blitz games so much harder, compared to both quicker Lightning and slower standard games. I really struggle to get my rating up on it. 

Do you find this to be true too? Maybe it's just me lol.

I think maybe the better players play 3min - 5min games. Players take these time settings more seriously etc. I don't know, what do you think?

I find blitz to be a happy medium. Lightning is almost impossible for me, and 3-minute is quite tough. I love long time controls in OTB tournaments, but they are quite boring for me online.

Correspondence is probably my favorite.

Dude you're like 500 points above average blitz rating here. Just be thankful you can actually play blitz here. This dumb app keeps booting me off causing my Blitz and standard ratings to plummet lately.

It is the strongest pool, and the most important tool. 1500 is pretty good for blitz.
