How do we know which ELO we really are? What i mean by that is we all have different ratings on different game speeds.
I’m a 953 on bullet (havent played that much in a long time)
1130 on Blitz but often lose on timeouts.
1321 on Rapid and prefer this more and more.
1594 on daily because you have so much time to think about moves and play what ifs.
So am i to think the rating i should focus on is the one I play the most? ie Rapid 1321.
Enjoying the course so far. Kinda taking a break from playing while i go through the course.

In my (ignorant) opinion, daily or rapid is closest to actual OTB tournament ratings. Try the 10|5. rapid. It is a decent compromise.

@chas-kenyongmail-com 10-5 i assume adds 5 seconds for every completed move?

I agree with Charles…I use 15|10 rapid for my main elo. I use daily for calculation development and Blitz for opening practice. The ELO of those two do not worry me. This approach helps me not stress much about my rating.

Danny, if you were to go to OTB (over-the-board) tournaments the time control is usually much longer, so your longest time control rating is probably closest to your actual rating. That being said, if you don’t play much in that time control, it might not be adjusted to what it should be. Hope that helps!
