10. that's the age when you realize that rapid is nonsense and start playing bullet
How the rapid is nonsense???
HEY I NEED TIME TO THINK
I thought the official age was 27, unless you were born on a Leap Year.
True
There is no right age. When you have become an IM or GM you will have learned enough about chess to be a very good blitz player.
I agree
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!mmmm!!??¿?????????¿?¡!¡!¡!
Responses like that won't work in bullet
I am 81 and have played/studied chess since my teens. My Rapid rating is 90th percentile. I play okay in Blitz - around 70th percentile. I'm not very successful at Bullet, but I love playing 2/1, and I sometimes have streaks where I do well - I wouldn't want to say how many Bullet games I have lost on time with an overwhelming advantage, but I just can't make my ancient reflexes make the moves! I love chess and I hope I will still be playing when I pass the century mark.
I would love to play you someday, sir.
Man, whole lotta 2/1 pump chumps who don't have the endurance for rapid. Take your time with those sweet moves. Don't rush and just pound away at the keyboard for a minute, take your time finding that beautiful mate.
RichColorado - do it! expect to have some learning curve. The first couple of months I played Bullet almost every game I lost was a time-out, and some of my draws were too. It has helped my analysis of the board enormously and given me a new appreciation of the clock aspect of all versions of the game.
How can dogs hurt someone by saying "Bullet isn't chess"? (dogs also can't talk)
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will break my heart.
Old little -
I need help with just one thing do anybody of you know what age you should stop rapid and do a challenging one like bullet?
chess is for everyone, and because it is everyone it doesn't mean there is a limit playing it. but, it is your decision when to stop playing rapid and do other ones like bullet.
Like that story about bullet.
