Keep it up Nightly, you'll get there. Just don't lose sight of why your here.
Enjoy yourself but don't let it control you friend. : )))

Hilariously, me wasting a year on bullet has resulted in one small advantage in rapid. I know basic lines for almost every single opening. 10 out of 10 would not suggest for a player under 1000 Rapid to do though.
Try it even if it's only for a couple of days.
I only play bullet and blitz here. ![]()
You will get better if you keep practicing!! ![]()

n0pe.
It just makes ur time management worse, makes u go faster for no reason, and who said bullet lasted long?
I do not mean to be rude, but your rating happens to be below 800... also, 100% of masters would say otherwise.
Bullet is a waste of time, unless of course you don't mind staying a patzer for an eternity.
Did you ever wonder what you're doing wrong about your rating being under 500 while you have been here for 11+ years?

And he claims he is learning stuff from "games" like this one:
One of my pieces of art I see you have brought out for all to see and maybe even, marvel and my precise playing structure. Cheers!
Keep on playing bullet, and after a couple of years your rating will be catapulted to 1018.
What is better?
1° people below 1000 who play the english
2° people below 1000 who play d3 e3 Ke2 Qd2
What is better?
1° people below 1000 who play the english
2° people below 1000 who play d3 e3 Ke2 Qd2
The right answer is 3° people below 1000 who play 1.e4

Nothing but the truth.
bullet requires skills too but i am not good at it. i often lost on time in winning positions when i really put effort on tactics..but when i tried to win on time, i made blunders...the only great bullet games i did were the ones where my opponents made obvious mistakes which i quickly took benefits from them and crushed them at ease... but ughh.. that made me get very high accuracies...its scary considering chess.com is full of envious people... sick of them and their prejudice..
"Play Bullet.....it will improve your longer game." - The worst possible advice in chess.
Play Longer Time Controls...
For many at the beginner-novice level, speed chess tends to be primarily an exercise in moving pieces around faster than your opponent while avoiding checkmate, in hopes that his/her clock runs out sooner than yours. And/or hoping to notice and exploit your opponent’s blunders while hoping they don't notice yours. The reason for this is that there is little time to think about what you should be doing.
It makes sense that taking more time to think about what you should be doing would promote improvement in your chess skills and results.
An effective way to improve your chess is therefore to play mostly longer time controls, including "daily" chess, so you have time to think about what you should be doing.
This is not to suggest that you should necessarily play exclusively slow or daily time controls, but they should be a significant percentage of your games, at least as much, if not more so than speed games which, while they may be fun, do almost nothing to promote an understanding of how to play the game well.
