My note on move 22 is a little incorrect, after 22. Rd7 Nxe6 23. Rxc7 Nxc7, white does not have an extra pawn.

Perhaps, I've been trying to play rapid more and am actually holding up pretty well against these 1800-1900s! I think I just need to sit back and take an objective look at everything, not playing based on emotion. Here's a game I just played! (10 minute Rapid Game)
Pretty good I think, although I had a few minor errors.
Hello everybody!
I had a question regarding the time controls in chess verses my chess ability. I've been playing since October and have a pretty good grasp on all the basics, like tactics, openings, strategy, attack, and endgames, however in my games there seems to be an anomaly. I play significantly better in my blitz and bullet games than in rapid or classical (disregarding basic blunders when you have like 5 seconds left) (Also, disregard my rating in rapid, my friend played some games on my account). For example, yesterday I decided to try a long game with Li, the 2000 level bot. I've beaten the bot quite a bit, but yesterday I went a lot slower; it was about a 1.5 hour game. I ended up resigning, since Li got her rook to the 7th and King to c6, with an evaluation of about +5. I checked the accuracy, and I had a whopping 29%, as opposed to Li with about 80%. I wish I could show the game, but I don't know how to retrieve bot games.
But when I play blitz or bullet, my accuracy is quite high (80s and 90s, occasionally 70s). Here's a 3 | 2 game from earlier today:
Even with the one mistake, I cannot believe how perfect that was. Granted my opponents mistakes made things easier to spot, but I'm very proud of this.
Back on topic, is there anything I can do that would make me think more accurately even in slower time controls? Perhaps I should stick to my gut. I'm not sure what the remedy is.
Thanks so much!
