You don't improve because you only play 3 minute blitz. To improve, you need to play longer time controls. Like 30+30, 30 minutes starting time and 30 seconds increments, or preferably even slower. Also solve a lot of puzzles. I've gained 250 ELO points in the last few years doing that.
- galfarragem 7y agoI'm an average player at best but my experience tells me the opposite. To be able to play fast games successfully you need a "finely tuned algorithm". On longer time frames you can simple use the "raw power of your cpu and bruteforce". My ELO is way better on longer games (easily +300). The faster the game, the more I struggle.
- bjourne 7y agoBut that is not the opposite? All else being equal, if your ELO is 300 points better on longer time controls, it means that you play worse when playing blitz than when playing standard. You won't improve by playing bad chess.
