1 minute with a 1-second increment is more fun than 1+0 imho

That may be. It is used in the speed chess championship.

Why are practically all of your 466 bullet games unrated? (465/466)

In fact, you've only played one rated game here since you joined.

If the game results don't matter, you don't have to make good moves.

If you don't have to make good moves, you can just play fast. 

Rated games are underrated.

They are unrated because I feel like playing unrated games. Amazing huh?

Well, it's up to you but I don't think you can count on the "ratings" you see of your opponents. They are likely as wildly inaccurate as your own. Your own bullet rating is:

1758 +/- 496 points.

That's a pretty wide range.

Anybody can sign up as an 1800, regardless of their real rating.

I think you should try playing at least 20 rated games to see where you stand.

Yes, but he doesn't play rated games, where he is more likely to find others who want to play 1+1.

Few of them will accept rated challenges from unrated players.
