ICC 5-min seems to have the best correlation to actual skill I've seen. It's a bit less mouse jockeying than 3-min blitz and you can't artifically inflate your rating by cherry picking opponents.

Yes you might be right, when I said 1200 for titles players I was not thinking clearly, I've only faced them at 1-min. I think 5 min is a bit closer to the real deal.
