To IMHO imply he is weak over the board is wrong:
Lets look at all the IM's at chessnet at who have a
lightning rating:

Aldama(IM)   Lightning  2326         55     24      3     82   2331
apetelin(IM) Lightning  2328         43     56      7    106   2429
Appel(IM)    Lightning  2748        306     24     12    342   2769
HHuerter(IM) Lightning  2563        381    193     14    588   2566
Moussa(IM)   Lightning  2548        936    792    100   1828   2648
Pawelek(IM)  Lightning  2528         45     25      8     78   2533
Tissir(IM)   Lightning  2308         24     27      2     53   2394
Valvo(IM)    Lightning  2165         36     50      4     90   2220

Portilho(IM) Lightning  2420       2449   1779    180   4408   2478
Seems his rating is higher than 4 of the 8 IM's listed so he obviously
is experienced. And that after playing 2449 games of lightning and holding
a rating of 2420 he is not weak over the board.

Thanks.
