Focus on Rapid-games. It starts from 10/0 but it’s much more thoughtful process.

Focus on rapid. do 30 min, you have more time, unlike bullet, which you have 1 minute, but once you get the hang of it, you get goated at bullet, like me which I am at 4120. I swear, DONT TELL ANYONE ABOUT MY RATING.
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.

Bullet makes you think faster so you can get a better depth.

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.
If you trying to improve… just throw speed chess in the trash homie

True..
Tbh I never liked theses short term games I like to use long 15-30 minute chess games and study new openings tactics daily puzzles etc
Weak players? lol I would like to see you even beat me in rapid, Maestro
I challenge you bro
Your brain is so rotten with bullet that you hardly deserve a 1000 rapid rating and I’ll prove it
