Play Bullet, it doesn't matter how much you lose but it will improve your longer game.

Do what makes you want to play that game again. If it is bullet, be it.

There is some controversy about the actual value of bullet for improving your game and indeed many good players has a lot of contempt for this kind of chess. But I also know personally a FM who has played more than 200 000 bullet games. He thinks that bullet is real chess and that very high skilled players (maybe world class to be honest) can produce good games with a very low error rate in that time controls. So where lies the truth?

It seems also that youth love bullet and elders don't like it very much.

Yes Mr. 489 rapid, we trust in your teachings master.

In all seriousness, I’m not one to sh#t on lower rated players, but taking advice from someone that can’t break 600 rapid is akin to asking a baby who only recently learned how to walk about how to become a marathon runner.

No one pays attention to the opinion of the baby, because they can scarcely grasp what a marathon even is!

Actually, the forum is about Bullet and I am currently 629. Maybe think before you speak next time, could help. You may not look like how you sound. : )


Since your reading comprehension evidently matches your comprehension of chess, let me walk you through nice and slow.

 

This thread is about how bullet improves your play in longer time controls.

You are awful at longer time controls, despite playing plenty of bullet, so your very existence disproves the premise of your thread.

 

The fact that this needs to be explained to you is sad but unsurprising.

 

Oh and “You may not look like how you sound” isn’t a coherent statement in case you didn’t realize.

Either English isn’t your first language or you are mentally impaired.

 

Please utilize your two remaining neurons to formulate a post that doesn’t make yourself look like a clown, before posting reply.

 

It will save what little remains of your credibility. wink.png

Every time I think you’ve said the most idiotic thing possible, you post another comment and one up yourself.

Here's what happens when u play fast and think ur improving. As with anything in life, any career/skill, etc. if u want to be proficient at it, u first need to learn to do it right BEFORE u try to do it fast. If ur doing it wrong but fast ur only reinforcing bad thoughts, bad habits, bad technique. I'm in construction and I've seen many people over the years attempt to impress people with their speed. However, if it's wrong and it looks like fuggin chit when ur done what good is it? It's the same with chess. If ur playing fast making mistakes over and over then ur just reinforcing poor playing habits. U still suck at chess but u just suck faster at it. Not impressive. I hope I've explained this so that it's easy to understand. Good luck with ur speed chess.

Edit: about good players playing blitz/bullet. They might play a lot of speed chess now BUT..... they didn't get good from playing speed chess. They got good FIRST from studying, training, playing slow tournament games, analyzing their slow tournament games, thinking deeply about positions, then they automatically became good at speed chess based on their thorough  foundation of knowledge AQUIRED FROM SLOW GAMES.

“You may not look like how you sound” You have never experienced this? You have never perceived somebody to possibly come across differently purely by your perception of them?

I would say it is you that is running low on the old neurones. I think most people will agree. Not you of course because you can't comprehend what we are even talking about. You poor thing.

I got to 1.4k in rapid before playing blitz fine, can only play 2/1 bullet accurately (it's basically blitz) and I can tell you: no it won't help well not at first at least, from your bullet games you spam your pieces around half of the time pointlessly in hope (most likely - 100%) that the person you're playing runs out of time and you flag them

Pasted from another thread.

This explains a lot, someone dropped you as a baby.

Also, it’s spelled neurons Einstein. wink.png

I understood what you were trying to say, it’s just that “You may not look like how you sound” is the manner I would suspect a learning disabled 5 year old to phrase it.

And yes, this vapid “discussion” that you yanked out the bilge pile that you call a brain is something I understand more deeply than you yourself.

The premise of this thread is that playing bullet games en masse will increase your playing strength in longer time controls.

Of course, players who actually know what they are talking about patiently explained to you that you are sorely mistaken.

And, as I have already demonstrated, your own stats are (further) proof of this, given your abysmal rapid rating despite the sheer magnitude of bullet games played you have played.

And so, when I tell you to stop posting so as to maintain your last iota of dignity, it is very good advice.

Now, go finish your homework, champ. happy.png

Bullet just rrally fun!!

George1st

Smells like Boiled Rat here.

Others that are way higher rated than you see the benefits quite easily and utilize them in Bullet quite fequently, which has helped them in the longer version of the game.

Don't be a Lab Rat, just be a sad Rat.

All good you were n't  expected to understand. : )

     Playing bullet and blitz will not improve your game nearly as much as spending the same amount of time playing longer games and actually taking time to analyze your positions, think through what you should do, and calculate variations. Blitz may help you learn a new opening by playing a bunch of games  quickly to see what kind of play you (and your opponent) get out of them.

     The world-class players who are very good at blitz and bullet got that good by spending years studying the game, not by playing thousands of speed games.

Fixed some of those grammatical errors for you.



It appears that the brain injury you sustained from having one of your parents slam dunk your head into the ground as an infant has negatively impacted your critical thinking, in addition to your chess ability and grammar. 

Firstly, how do you expect anyone understand the broken English you just spat out onto your keyboard?

And no, just about everyone in the thread were simply trying to dispel your delusions, they were not agreeing with your idiotic notion that bullet is conducive to improvement in longer time controls.

Ask any respected Chess coach or titled player, and they will tell you the same.

I hope you come to your senses and realize just how mistaken you are, you are killing your progress in terms of Chess.


Perhaps Chess just isn’t the game for you? 

I recommend Connect Four as your new game of choice kiddo.

While it is still rather advanced given your staggering incompetence, I think you’ll figure it out eventually. wink.png

I’m not getting paid to babysit you any longer however, so I will be taking my leave now. 

As I said before, get your homework done, and then you can be an aspiring internet troll. Lmao

I was actually trying to cancel out the game but I don't ever play there so I didn't know how or know what I was doing. But just so u know, I really am afraid of playing u in bullet. Just to let everybody here know, I'm scared.

Hey everybody, I'm scared. There, I fessed up.

George1st

Nicely done. Called being a man and I for one applaud it. : )))

DreamscapeHorizons

Thanx. I figured I'd try it out, see how it felt for once.

George1st

I bet it felt good. Again, good for you!

Not enough people doing the same that's why more a more people are becoming more rude.

And my apologies for pasting that game in, not very gentlemanly at all.

David Howell recently stated that Alireza Firouzja and Magnus Carlsen each logged over 700 hours across all platforms last year playing blitz and bullet. They would quite often play each other long sessions of bullet chess. 

Two of the best players in the history of the game play about 2 hours of blitz and bullet every day! 

They have been playing bullet all their lives. They didn't get good then play blitz and bullet. 

Sure, they also spend a lot of time studying chess at slower time controls too.
