Bullet Chess ruined

I might be exaggerating a little bit but do you agree with me that a lot of low rated bullet players play a swindler quite a bit and just play moves to beat you on time? I have been trying to get to 300 in Bullet but I can’t figure out how to consistently beat other low rated players

Move fast, do not do obvious blunders and spot 1-move blunders from opponents. And you will move bullet rating.

No big plans or anything like this. Because: you will do mistakes in calculations and will be short in time.

I use pre-move all the time, if it won't lead to a blunder.

Most stats are very similar along rating, but you're struggling to get to 300 cuz ur a low rated player. If you were like 700 rapid, then you would have a valid question, but it's just your current rating range. Practice and get better, PS* practice does not make perfect.

Thanks for the quality response.

Before clicking this, I thought someone was complaining about the cheating and no skill wins, but the case was something different. And glad I could help!!

That's the whole point of bullet. Speed and swindles

But I'm saying that is THE reason that bullet chess lacks fun, and any real strategy

swindling requires strategy ngl, good analogy btw.

Dont play bullet until you get to 1500 rapid (or even later), its not good for your overall chess

Well Swindling is kinda a strategy in itself, and I'm not saying all Swindling players are bad, but most low rated player are swindlers if you understand.

I don't think I'm going to be getting there anytime soon, plus Bullet is probably my favorite time so why does my rapid rating matter?

15, it depends on the person. It was good for me. It's not good for you. And it looks like it's not good for the OP either

I understand your point but I think Bullet could be like way more fun if people put like 5% more strategy into it.

Ok look.

You simply are not a strong player yet and you should NOT be playing bullet, PERIOD. In fact, I don't think you should be playing any sort of fast time control (e.g. Blitz). I looked at a few of your games and you constantly hang pawns and pieces, make illogical moves (like moving a pawn to e6 on the first move then moving to e5 on the second move?), you make moves which throw away pieces in ONE MOVE, and you also make very anti-positional moves, like you develop both bishops g5/b5 and then the very next move, you take both knights, leaving you with no bishops.

You need to take some time to learn the fundamentals of the game, and then work on seeing simple tactics, point value of pieces, when a piece is attacked or defended or must be moved, avoiding forks, double-attacks, skewers and randomly unguarded pieces (without a justified reason). There are many books suited for beginners and weaker players that can help train you on observing, defending against, and exploiting tactical threats.

Until you can do this in a solid way, you should NOT even TOUCH bullet or even blitz chess. Fast time controls require you to have GOOD sight of the board and threats, attacks, "potential" attacks, pins, checks, and ways to predict and defend against them (or create them!), as well as basic openings knowledge. If you can't do this even with slower time, what makes you think you can do it under time pressure under a fast time control?

Tbh though, books and videos are great but I think I learn best by just playing I mean if you look at my games I’ve definitely improved, I’m not trying to play super competitive, and saying that low rated players shouldn’t play time controlled only your credibility as a NATIONAL MASTER

You are also friends with Honchkrow while that might not mean much he also was the one that tried to ‘petition’ low rated players off of forums altogether
