Playing bullet than rapid and vice-versa: what NOT to do: bonus blog inside!
I say hello to @ChocoCaramelPawn and will be mentioning him for this blog and 3 others because he could guess my middle name on the first try. Really interesting how fast that went down. Well, he won so here is the link to his SIGMA blog channel. By the way sigma is the link to his blog channel, and while I'm at it, click on that sign above my profile that leads to my blog channel. I know that you want to click on it. Anyway, know to actually get into this actually actual blog. An @IceConeDragon original, based off something I learned the hard way, definitely not made from my blood, sweat or tears: Playing bullet than rapid and vice-versa: what NOT to do. But before we can even get into this, I need to tell you the backstory. Yes I know that I said it was the last time in my previous blog but I'm line farming so I guess for my over 100 line addiction I kinda HAVE to do it.
BACKSTORY
So about 2 or 3 weeks ago, player @VOB96 made a forum in the club blogchamps. If you want to visit the magical forum that kickstarted this series. Press on the second SIGMA link. And I have to be the curious person that I am and signed myself up. Of course since I am on chess.com for a huge margin of time, I was first to register, and then you need to account for the other 20 people who started to sign up. Now there are 30 other people in the competition and what I found about my placement was more shocking than your YouTube feed! I had been put in second last! Can't blame her for putting me there though since my blogs were kinda garbage at that time. Here is a picture that I didn't want to show but will show anyway.
So that placement isn't that you would call sunshine and rainbows, but it's also not last place so I can't be in utter devastation. Of course then 2nd last place doesn't really change much. As you can see, it said that focusing more on chess would work better but I already knew that my blogs also needed to be WAY longer. So I started with the chess blogs and then the blog after that I did the length and now my blogs are actually readable and good. And now my blogs are on average getting about 50 views in a week. I know it may not sound like much, but on chess.com thats better than a majority of people. It's even better than an FM I friended! And hopefully new readers on chess.com see my blogs and read them. But now, lets go to the not so long science on why you shouldn't do what's on the title of this blog.
EXPLANATION
So you know the way in bullet you need to be zooming since you only have 1 minute to try beat your opponent, that's why when I play I usually win on time and when I lose its about time 2 thirds of the time. But as I begin to play and keep playing, my brain is used to taking quicker moves and not thinking about the consequences. Though players at very high elo may not have this problem, me and a more than a handful of others DO have the problem. After playing all of those bullet games, your moves will noticeably be faster in longer timed games since your brain is used to having almost no time on the clock. You will also be likely to make WAY more mistakes! Which could cost you a lot of elo. And it also cost me over 50 elo. But since the game I played, now that losing streak is over! And since I can't experiment using myself, I guess the blog is finished. I hope you enjoyed this short blog, a mini one in the series. And now for the next we will have a break from the series and I am making a blog on chess telepathy. But now lets move onto the special, 
Hei Kaikille, welcome back to another blog by @IceConeDragon and today we are not focusing on the what NOT series but on another blog on another chess topic. Also, in the last blog which you should totally read, I said that the next blog would be about chess telepathy, but I dumped that and chose my brilliant games. The inspiration is from @RikLikesTacos' I game 3 brilliancies. You can check out the blog through the link that I just showed you. Also mentions to @ChocoCaramelPawnand here is the link to his blog channel which you should definitely check out. https://www.chess.com/blog/chococaramelpawn. Wait, don't tell me you clicked on the link that was above the blog channel link? That was the link to the most important website ever! So no clicking. Now you have the urge to click on it. You can click on it only after you finish reading. Sorry the writing process is taking so long, this is what I had to listen to💀And many other Spidey and his amazing friends musical crap. But anyway, first I need to explain to you what a brilliant move is, even though you would probably know, many people started chess 5 seconds ago and don't know what a brilliant move is, so I am here to tell you.
WHAT IS A BRILLIANT MOVE?
A brilliant move is when you can find an amazing sacrifice for a huge advantage, and for some weird reason, I've played them more than twice in bullet! If you still want proof because your brain could not comprehend that one line that I showed you, here is a brilliant move example.
So you saw how by sacrificing the queen, the rook was forced to take it and my rook took it back for the win. The brilliant move had given white a massive advantage. But now since we are not just taking brilliant moves out of the puzzle section, yes, I did get this concept from puzzles. But we are here to review my games, so we are going to start with my most recent brilliant moved game.
I know, you L sigma, you only won by time is probably what you're thinking right now, but the crazy part about this game is that my opponent needed to play a great move for me to play the brilliant move, lets review. It starts off with me playing e4, a classic move in chess, the normal first move, the response, d5, also a very classic opening response. I played h5, it says that that is a mistake even though it's just a setup for the scholars mate. I thought I could get a sneaky scholars mate since time is low and moves need to be fast, it had worked before but sadly it didn't. I got a few more tries, trying to get my knight out to setup the attack for another checkmate attack. But sadly my opponent kicked my queen with the knight so I had to give up my attack. Then it was just a bunch of threats and trades for the next few moves, nothing very interesting. Until on move 20, my opponent found a sharp tactic attacking my rook, I don't get how this was very sharp tactic but it still was. My response was quick, rook for bishop trade, apparently a brilliant move but I thought brilliant moves were sacrifices that were for free. My opponent obviously took the rook and I logically took the bishop with my queen, and after that we just randomly moved our pieces about until my opponent lost the game on time. But honestly, the play there had loads of mistakes, but the brilliant was totally worth it.
