I looked back at my history (have played a bunch of games since being laid up from a second ankle surgery) and I've lost on time a ton, even though I was ahead.
Having said that, I don't remember anyone under 1200 being much of a challenge, but on chess.com I'm losing a consistent 2 out of 3 at all rating levels, from the 1450 I started out at to the 800 level. You'd think I'd start winning more but I'm not ... but I'm not losing any more, either, which is the strange thing.
Based on what you said, the 10-minute format isn't my strong suit
