Bullet is chess on methamphetamine.
Bullet Is Chess

Yes, it is chess and it thrives mostly on board vision, pattern recognition, and tactical knowledge. There's nothing wrong or anti-chess about it.
Those who rely on strategy, etc. rightly say that "better" chess requires more time so that all aspects of the game can be employed, but that often requires 1 hour or more per clock and up to 2 hours is more time than most people have.
So there's nothing wrong with bullet chess, though you should be doing other things like taking time to solve tactics problems, etc. if you want to improve.

Here's the same scenario but with chess:
So I'm just sitting in my corner of the tournament room where everybody sits just to lose against me and then somebody comes up to me and before we even starts the game he goes "Ha! I won! Wooooooooooooo!" Then I go "you must be kisee-coocoo" Then he goes "no that's not true. You tried to play the game with the totally wrong set up." Then I go "um, this is how you set it up, Dumbo." Then he would go "No, were playing chess 960 or we not? Well that's not how set it up." Then I would say, "No, were not playing 'chess 960', were playing chess." Then he would go "It is chess, it's just a different form of chess." Then I would get that guy, out of my sight as fast as I can.

This is the stupidest fake story someone has ever made up. You would obviously know that it would be chess 960. Therefore your story is invalid in less you were dumb not to notice it was not normal chess.

And scrabble. Even though they are totally different, they don't have the same board, pieces, system, and ways to win, they should still be "chess in different forms", because they both have the same goal, to win. Am I wrong?
That is different. I am talking about a game with a board and chess pieces on it. You are talking about ANY game.

Yes. We all know no matter what the time is, bullet is chess. Okay, now to continue the chess960 topic, I have made a new forum.

No I wouldn't "know that it would be chess 960" because first of all I'm playing normal chess in a normal chess tournament room and second I set it up like normal chess hence the stupid guy who thinks that chess 960 is the same thing as chess tries to call me out for cheating. Why, you ask, because you still don't know what I'm talking about? Because he attempts to play me in a chess 960 match even though we both agreed on normal chess but since the stupid guy thinks chess 960 is the same thing as chess he thinks that we are automatically playing a 960 game like he wants to but I set it up for normal chess and so he thinks I'm cheating because of that. Do I not make myself look clear?

Were you white or black for that game?
White; we were not playing seriously AT ALL; (I did not play it on chess.com).

I agree. Time limits don't change the game. Chess with no time limits at all is still chess too. In fact, changing other rules wouldn't make it not chess either. Chess960 is chess, as are Shogi, the various hexagonal chesses, and any other variant. Chess is not a single set of rules. It is a large family of related games.

Obviously bullet chess is chess. The clue is in the name. Some people are snobs though so they make up their own rules as to what is and isn't chess.
Bullet isn't chess though. Bullet is just a word on its own or something you fire from a gun.

variants chess are also chess and 4 check and games like queen vs pawns
It’s three check...

IF it was a normal chess room the guy would not be that stupid. AND no one would be stupid to think chess960 is chess. Chess960 is a FORM of chess. You make yourself loud and clear but what you say is wrong. If I was to ask 10 chess players what is chess, all would tell me that rooks go on the sides... ETC. If I asked what chess960 was, any that would know would say it is a different way to play and they either don't play it that way, or rarely do. And if they know how to, they'll tell me the back pieces are mixed up.

I agree. Time limits don't change the game. Chess with no time limits at all is still chess too. In fact, changing other rules wouldn't make it not chess either.

Cool man, good to see you again, it has been a very long time since you last posted here.
I agree, one family and time controls do not change whichever version of chess is being played.
Time controls however do affect ratings differently which is something that should be considered.
Yes, thanks.
The time does not make chess change. Our new topic is chess960...

variants chess are also chess and 4 check and games like queen vs pawns
It’s three check...
4 check is on other chess.com sites where you can make a custom amount of checks for the game.

Chess 960 is not chess! It's like playing poker but all of the players personal cards are face up and the cards in the middle are face down. Is that "a form of poker", too? Bullet is a form of chess, because it is chess. It just has a time limit, like most chess games. The only difference is that it simply has a short time limit. There is only 4 reasons why they call it "bullet" instead of "a chess game with a very short time limit".
1. It is much easier to say "bullet" than "a chess game with a very short time limit".
2. The game moves as fast as a bullet.
3. The game moves a fast as somebody who has taken a bullet to the heart dies.
4. It is very hard to become highly rated so when someone with very high rating open seeks they get to play with someone with a lot lower rating. Then, if that person makes a blunder, and loses a LOT of points, that makes the person feel like (s)he's just taken a bullet to the heart. If (s)he bets on the game, then she also takes a bullet to the wallet.
And don't forget what I said earlier...
