I can’t believe i was under 400elo just two months ago and I fell for scholars mate because i even didnt knew what that is. (I don’t know why there’s September because i joined this site at october 6th.)

 Now, I’m over 1200 and i’m better than 90% of players in bullet.

But I still have a problem finding mates in bullet.

The last game that i played was an example
 There was a mate in one, But i missed it because of the lack of time.

That lead to my loss of queen and opp’s promotion to queen.

Although i won by time, I really feel i should improve finding mate skills to improve more.

I solved some puzzles, But I don’t think they improve my skills.

What would be the best way to find mates and increase my elo?

I solved almost 10,000 puzzles.

If you solve about 5,000 puzzles, Then you can move well without think.

And you must solve much checkmate patterns puzzles.

Unless you can’t find force to checkmate well.

I didn’t want to know that but.. Unfortunately I know now.

Puzzles. By doing this I can now recognize rook mates easily. I once won two games in a row with the same mating net!

I love bullet too but it gets to the point where the only way to improve your bullet rating is to improve at the higher time controls aswell, then it translates over to bullet

Not sure, I'm still trying to figure it all out
