Blitz is a terrible thang.

I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to retrieve my 2000 rating. Blitz is nonsense for chess development (:
Agreed. There's a reason blitz is my worst time control... =/
#2

Can't be both? The internet helped me become a strong player, but actual training is necessary, or your brain goes on auto-pilot mode.
You wont become a better player practicing only on the internet. People come here telling that they are getting better because their rating is increasing but it isnt true. You must understand that your rating doesn't mean anything. I cant say i am better than you just because i have a better rating. I cant say i am getting better just because my rating today is higher than yesterday or last month. You cant get better just playing it. And i agree with #3.

Sorry my bad english.
