Simple poll so I can get a good idea of how many games a typical 'whatever' rated player has to play to be at that level.  Just for fun and curiosity.

Please state:

Rapid: Rating/ Games Played

Blitz: Rating/ Games Played

More blitz than rapid. Multiple sites. Including bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, correspondence, and OTB, I estimate I’ve played more than 160,000 games in the past quarter century. On this site, my total tops 77,000.

Rapid: 9646. Current rating is 1852. Peak rating is 2039. Most of my play on this site the past two years has been g 10 arena.

Blitz: 14,985. Current rating is 1663. Peak is 2066. In a slump right now. Playing mostly 3 2 on arena.

A substantial percentage of my total games on all sites have been 3 0 blitz and 2 1 bullet.

I'm 741 after 113 games in rapid.

I'm hoping to get to 1000 within a year.

My internet latency is not good as ping is 150ms-200ms (For most players its 50-70). Still I have played a lot of bullet games only to lose half of them due to lag.

I dont like to play rapid (10 min and higher) as sometimes player dont resign and you have to just wait for clock to runout.
