Bout sick of online chess in general because of casual cheaters

3/2 blitz has far less cheaters than rapid, but because im still learning i always end up losing on time. Thats a skill issue, but i dont have ample time to really learn and get better.

But whether its lichess or chesscom, every single rapid game opponent is like freshly activr accounts with 90%+ accuracy and like >30 centipawn loss.

Its borderline unplayable. Bots dont have organic behavior to where i feel like i can actually learn well from it. Blitz has the most playable playerbase due to time limit but i cant learn well from it.

Gotten to the point where i just want to delete my accounts and start a chess club or something. Online chess is fucking wack.
