I had a look at my opening repertoire yesterday and began to notice moves that could be improved. I consulted the engine, Lichess Master database and Player database to confirm my suspicions that I was playing a suboptimal line.

I saw that the rating comparison data had been updated recently (https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/#lichesschesscom) and its part of the reason for this question:

I play on chess.com but use the Lichess database to help determine what lines I should play. I’ve found that the the time control and rating range settings has a large influence on the statistics that it shows…at least at my skill level. How do I determine what is a good setting for me? The ratings charts seem to favor blitz/bullet players, whereas I play rapid 15|10 when I play online. I use my online play to train for classical OTB chess.
