Maybe I’m just imagining this and it’s more about how good my focus is when I play BUT it seems to me that the strength of players of a given ELO rating at Blitz is higher in the morning UK time (Asian evening) than it is in the nighttime (American evening).

Anyone else notice this - some issues with separation of different time zones’ rating systems via not enough games across zones to make the stronger Asian players ratings reflect their true ability?
