bullet/rapid



102 rapid so believable.

If you are a beginner, focus on the fundamentals. And rapid gives you enough time to balance the fundamentals and not worry so much about losing on time. Once you get to a certain elo, say 1000, then you can focus on a faster time control, i.e., 3 min or 5 min blitz. There is nothing wrong about playing bullet, but it might hinder true chess growth in a sense.

As a bullet/blitz specialist myself I can say that it can improve your reflexes, time management, and practical intuition.

Intuition is very closely linked with practice, a lot of practice…And it’s better to form good practice and habits in rapid games..
My advice to beginners is to NOT play bullet. Stick to slower time controls so that you have time to think.
if your goal is to become a stronger chess player, your time would be better spent in reading classic instruction books. If you play bullet, you will develop bad habits that you you will have to unlearn as you improve.
