Is my low blitz game drawing rate at www.chess.com an indicator that I am weak in chess? I have played 630 blitz game at chess.com and only 10.3% of my games are draw; see the diagram.



When I play black, my drawing rate is slightly higher than my drawing rate playing white. This is likely because that psychologically I am more content with a draw when I am playing black.

I understand that usually blitz games have relatively lower drawing rates. But in World Blitz Chess Championship 2009, 26.41% of the games are draws and my blitz drawing rate at chess.com is not even half of this rate.



Here is my question: Is my low blitz drawing rate an indicator that I am a relatively weaker player, or is it due to my playing style, or both? What can I do to naturally improve my blitz game drawing rate (so it looks more like top or professional players)? Here I am not interested in purposefully requesting a draw in a winning position; instead, I would seek advice on how to keep playing naturally while end up with a much higher drawing rate.

Edit Statistically I have observed that relatively stronger players usually have higher drawing rates than relatively weaker players. When I play online blitz games, I fe


At chess.com my blitz rating is around 1500.
I usually like to offer draw or accept draw offer or force draw with perpetual check when the position seems even or unclear to me and when I do not observe any tactical opportunities (even when there still several pieces on the board), especially when my opponent has higher rating than me, or I am playing black, or both. Sometimes I offer draw when I play with a much stronger player and I have some advantage at the opening stage. (Since my opponent is stronger, it is not easy for me to win the game with the advantage and thus I am happy with a draw.)


Edit:

After eight months, I have successfully increased my drawing rate from 10.3% to 14.5%. As my blitz drawing rate is increasing, my rating has also increased from around 1500 to around 1600. For my recent six games (five opponents have higher rating than mine), I managed to draw five of them and only lost one.
10% is a high drawing rate for online blitz - I am drawish in classical games and an FM and have 6.6% draw rate on chess.com 3 minutes.
I would suggest you use your rating as the indicator for playing strength - that is it's only purpose and it is fairly objective.

I also wouldn't worry about adjectives like "weak" - it's all very relative.
Chess is fun. Improving is also fun - by all means work hard on your chess just not so that you won't be "weak". I am "weak" to lots of players and I am an FM.
