I have a horrible problem with time management in 5 0 that isn't a factor CC.

5 0 blitz. my standard there is 1600, although it would probably rise to around 1800 or so. haven't played standards for a long time...
However 2000+ FICS and 1300 CC makes no sense to me at all. A CC rating - where you can take days to move, consult databases and move the pieces around - should always be at least as good, if not much, much better.
Originally posted by scandiumwell, some blitz players think they can play blitz here as well. naturally it works out a bit like feeding a shark with your face. not a terribly good idea.
