Because when something quite obviously makes sense, it's hard not to recognize it.

. . . you haven't put together a coherent argument or anything. This thread is simply in the way now. Unfollowing.

I get better at bullet by getting better at slower chess, not by playing more bullet.

bullet can help you get better at finding tactics faster, but you shouldn't just do bullet

Toad1258

in bullet you can do all the tactics you can do in normal chess, but you can also do other tactics (to make them run out of time or mess up while premoving )

Toad1258

in bullet even if you are in a completely lost game sometimes you can flag them(make there time run out)

Toad1258

what I did was first i did rapid then blitz then bullet

Quoting many chess instructors (Dan Heisman among them) -- playing fast games can help you *if and only if* you analyze the game afterwards.  It can help you recognize tactics more quickly, you can practice opening lines and see where your first non-book move was, etc.  

But if you don't analyze them, then it's mostly just entertainment and an adrenaline rush.  Which is not a bad thing, but not nearly as helpful to improve your long game.

I used to have adrenaline rush, but now I don't
