Maybe the average of your opponents

  • is bad at rapid on chess.com.
  • is good at blitz on chess.com.
  • is bad at blitz on lichess.org.
  • is good at rapid on lichess.org.
    I just took the text of the original posting to come up with this, I did not look into any data from games.

The way both websites handle lag is very different.

Different ratings on the same site work differently.
The same modes (bullet, blitz, rapid,...) on different sites also work differently.

Huh a GM answering my questions, never seen that before. May I ask why I'm always ignored, when I ask for a match with GM.

I can't speak for the other GMs, but personally I like to play against similarly rated opponents. (And take longer breaks even from that.) Many GMs including me are pros, which means that asking them for a game for free means asking them to do a bit of their work for free. Many people would've declined that, not just GMs. Having your hobby as a profession is nice, but you should also relax and keep time for other activities to avoid a burnout. Given how many GMs and how many non-GMs there are, GMs who regularly accept such challenges might spend a lot of time on it. (Which makes sense when streaming and playing your followers or real-life friends, but much less sense otherwise. There are many other activities to be done in life.)

No, all the ratings work the same.

Ratings in different pools have nothing to do with each other, even though many people feel like they should. But all pools work the same.
