Is blitz harder than rapid on chess com? ›

Yes blitz is harder. A 1700 rating in blitz puts you in the top 130,000 players, but a 1500 in rapid puts you in the top 50,000. More people play it; plus with less time to think, your pattern recognition and intuition has to be better as there's less time to calculate or come up with new plans and ideas.

1500 on chess.com is indeed a good rating. Your USCF rating would be in the range of 1300 -1700 depends on how you play in the tournaments.

Who is 72 grandmaster chess? ›

Congratulations Mitrabha Guha : 72nd Grandmaster of India – All India Chess Federation.

Never, 3000 is way too high, Kasparov was 2851 in 1999 and just beating that is tough enough, a great player like Anand never had a single 2900 performance in his career as far as I know. I think once more players are able to hold ratings of 2800+ we will see 2900's. That still seems to be a ways off though.
