Don't know about anyone else, but before i discovered this site, i had a pretty consistent 1500-1700 blitz rating. I've been playing here nearly two years and now my blitz rating is 1426!!! I loose game after game after game. I just don't get why, i'm often up in material but always find a way to blunder!! It's driving me nuts. Anyone else have this problem?? :'(

One relies on pattern recognition and quick decisions, the other calculation and research.
I don't think internet ratings are anything to go by.. I too have smilar prob.. rating seams to go up and down by 200 points.. on this site seams more stable maybe because I only play few games at a time.. But last 3 otb games I played have lasted not more than 10 moves.. I need to find some decent otb players 😀

so longer time controls more it hurts your chess...😛 i have known it for years but finally somebody else seems to get it too.
Originally posted by marinakatombHasn't hurt me too much. I get more variation if I play when I am
