Bullet games have a higher component of luck than any other time controls, but in spite this i still consider it quite worthy.but expect to perform at least 40% below your strength.

Bullet chess does not require

 chess special skills.Just presence of mind and good theory preparation.

One minute is way too fast for me,but then I'm not too good at blitz either.  I can play "almost blitz" with a 7 or 10 minute game, and I like casual games to be G20 or G30 at the most (if using a clock).  But I find that G30 for tournaments can be a bit too quick.

Ah i dont like bullet games but i do play a few games of it most nights just for fun. Sometimes the quality is rather good (see my game http://blog.chess.com/Graw81/1-minute-dragon-win-rating-2347 ) and sometimes they are just terrible because i play on playchess.com and make my moves before my opponent makes his, so at times i lose a queen...and a rook....and another rook....then a knight.... etc haha! its fun tho, its not serious.
