My Rating

Please anyone, whats the difference between blitz rating and standard rating?

Longer time controls = standard

Shorter time controls = blitz

Blitz rating is your rating for when you play drunk, in other words, blitzed out of your mind, and standard rating is for when you're sober.

thank you guys!

There are excellent chess players who play blitz.

There are terrible chess players who play blitz.

Personally, I think it is better to refrain from speed chess until one is competent at longer clock times.

That's just an opinion. I happen to think that skill should be developed before speed.

But there are zillions of blitz and bullet players who would disagree with me.

Screw them.

Hey...put down the axes. I just make a joke.
