A strange thing about this site

Is there no way to play a game of chess with standard or blitz time controls? Is there a reason for this or am I overlooking something obvious?

Yes. The 'blitz' button at top of page.

Is there a blitz rating that we get separate from our correspondence rating? If not, that is too bad.

You can play blitz as BigDogg says, but this site is mainly correspondence chess. It's days rather than hours per move.
