well, this being the first time, some explanation is needed. the above chunk shows my finger info in FICS (Free Internet Chess Server)
blitz = normal chess, time control is 3 min to 14 min per player for entire game, most commonly played, 10791 active humans
standard = normal chess, time contol is 15 min and up, 1531 active
lightning = normal chess, time control is 1-2 min (alternatively 0 1 is where you start with 10 sec and get 1 sec added to your clock every turn) , 2929 active
wild = several variants of this, mostly to do with the initial positioning of the pieces. most notably fischerrandom, 69 active
bughouse = internationally-accepted version of transfer chess, and superior to it in every way (no argument about that) , 447 active
crazyhouse = self-bug. captured pieces change colour and may be dropped instead of moving a piece on the board. anything you sac comes staight back in your face. bam. 730 active.
suicide = win by losing all your pieces. if you can capture an opponent's man, you must do so. 262 active
atomic = pieces adjacent to a point of capture explode. pawns only explode when on the capture square , 158 active
RD = measure of how accurate of your rating. RD below 80 makes your rating "active" and thus eligible for a personal best rating slot and a place on the best players list.

i think i have to improve by blitz but i seem to be spending a lot of my time on lightning instead :) i don't think i should play much standard, it seems to be quite a big waste of my precious time here...i just achieved a new personal best in lighting recently. this must surely attributed to my thief interface (which allows me to make 70 moves a minute due to premove and smartmove - if you think that's easy go ahead and try it yourself)....haven't played any wild recently, maybe i should try to find an opp and get my RD below 80....my bug rating went below 1700 again, where it belongs, but im still hoping to get lucky one day and shoot up to 1800 (heh) ...my crazyhouse (or zh) rating is in the high 1900s and i hope to get it into the 2000s one day. recently, RubberDuck made a comment in ch 24 (the bughouse channel) about how playing zh would lead to a "more balanced attack". maybe i ought to see for myself....i rarely play suicide primarily due to lack of interest...my atomic isn't really so good and i am stuck somewhere in the middle of the rankings on 78/158.....
