I don't play bullet, so, meh.

If you want to test how good your mouse is, then it's pretty great. 

It's definitely nothing like real chess at all though. At least 1+0 can be somewhat close.

If hyperbullet is just about who can move pieces faster, what is this 10 second thing about?

I think it might be ten seconds a move.
I played in a tournament on that basis, a buzzer went off every ten seconds.
A big trust thing OTB if your opponent goes err, err, ... beyond the buzzer.
A machine system could clearly award the win on a late move, so maybe the idea holds water.

0+1 is the best

No, not 10 seconds per move. 10 seconds for the entire game, also with no increments.

@nimzomalaysian. Ok I just read the headline and *assumed*.  I stand corrected. I think bullet is stupid (60 secs each a game) . The ten second game must just be a lottery of pre-move luck.
Maybe 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qh5 Nf6 4. Qxf7# becomes a solid line in 10 second chess ?
As black I would probably panic the game away after 2. Bc4

Who needs ten seconds to play a game of chess?

I played against Computer-EASY 1, it trashed me with his 0.1 moves.

I played against Computer-EASY 1 with 1 sec increment, I trashed it.

For anyone who's interested, I just submitted to the web developers of chess.com an idea of a variant with 10 seconds per move. You get 10 seconds per ply (each players move). After you've made your move, your clock resets to 10 seconds. There is no time limit. 

This is to try to combat people trying to beat people accumulatively on the clock, when their position is dead lost. It's quite similar to the en passant rule: If you've gained an advantage, why should you lose it to cheap tricks? Easier moves are always faster to make.

How can I create a 10-second game on chess.com?!!

Utterly stupid and contrived. Lacking any value at all.
