2400 in Bullet - and I retire

Avatar of Robert_New_Alekhine

I believe that I should receive the Silver Bullet Award in Nikprit's "Analyze This & That Thread".

The reason is because of my IM title in bullet chess - my new peak rating is 2400. With that, ladies and gentleman, I retire.

In this thread, I'll be posting some of my favorite games that led up to this achievement. Thank you for those who cheered for me on my way.

Here's my final game of bullet chess, ever. Admittedly not my best effort (indeed I was quite lost after 15 moves), but somehow I bounced back to defeat an IM:

And when do I plan to reach 2400 in real chess? Probably never.

I retired 3 months ago including 3/0 5/0 min blitz games more than six months ago. After reaching 2 000 here and beating some title players on other servers including checkmating GM. Had enough fun and anger. It's very addictive and once started you have to try hard to stop. Played thousands of games. Now i play it only for little distraction once in a while very casual. I started chess as bullet player and just last year disovered the joy of rapid-classical chess which is a must for further improvement. Maybe if i get expert/CM level oney day i will quit and will continue to play bullet like KingsCrusher did and ChessNetwork, but plan to get better than KC, which actually should be not that hard.

Not with that attitude!

I predict perhaps 1 year at most to NM then maybe 4 (tops) if you work hard for 2400.

Do you have a real rating like fide?

My USCF is around 2150.

Congrats!!

My own bullet rating is 2800, I just discovered

But it's not a rating in bullet chess...

Rather, it's the number of translated words per hour I produce on a legal text, when working with my two main languages. I was surprised...

Did anyone of you read his "No..more..bullet" blog? 

If yes, then I won't believe him.

I have read it.

I'm pretty sure hundreds did.

Also, I remember there being like 2-3+ pages of comments.

I think he deleted it.

I think he found that forum because the blog was deleted.

What do you mean, the blog was deleted?

Who deleted it?
