7 Bullet Chess Tips
I will give you some 1 min bullet game tips in this blog. We need to be super fast to play chess in just 1 min, not all people find it easy. In my experience first time, I play bullet I play so badly because I panicked, and my rating dropped from 1200 (cause I choose intermediate level) to 600 and stopped playing bullet. But after 1 YEAR I play bullet again and reached a rating of 1500 with the tips below!
1. Stay Calm
You should never panic about the bullet-fast time control or you make tons of blunders, so just stay calm but still move fast. Calm doesn't mean move slow.
2. Turn Pre-moves On
You should turn the pre-move on and use it in the opening and when your time is under 1 sec. If don't know how to turn the pre-move on in chess.com you can check out this blog by me. So in bullet every each second is very precious and if you use pre-move you only waste 0.1 second every pre-moved moves. you could also hover-move instead of pre-moving since is safer but a bit slower.
3. Use A Safe Opening
Just use safe opening like King Indians, fianchetto, etc and pre-move while doing it so you had time advantage in the opening. Bullet is about time but you need to play accurate still so just be safe for speed and wait your opponent's mistake.
4. Drag The Pieces
Dragging the pieces is usually faster than clicking square and you could also hover-move with it.
5. Don't Move Your Queen Out Early.
Some of you my think because bullet is fast you just need the scholar's mate, but it's not true, (almost) everybody on chess.com know how to counter it and because you think fast in bullet your queen could be captured if you let it out early.
That is how to counter the scholar's mate
6. Don't Resign
Never resign even you are losing on position because you could win on time except your opponent have still lot of time and your are in a very bad position or you will be mated in next few move or even mate in 1.
7. Practice
keep practicing because practice makes it perfect.
