Hi Kurt. I had a pretty good rating and than i started playing fast chess.
1-5 minute games. I was good at it and my rating went up and leveled off.
So i decided to play 30 min. games again and found my rating going down.
It took about 4 months to get back playing good chess again.  Now my rating up
highest its
ever been and still improving. NO more fast games for me.

good luck,
Gerold.

P.S. I tryed the draws games vs. top engines and did ok but as you say your
learning stops.
