Always winning on time

Hi everyone! 

Today I've noticed that I'm playing bullet a lot and I'm never satisfying myself because I keep on winning on time from a losing position. Do any of you know why this is happening and how I should play better at Bullet?

I mean winning on time is a part of bullet and it means ur opponent is playing better but they are also spending more time

Avatar of Ew3n3

That is actually most often the case!

if u spend more time u can probably out play ur opponent but u might lose on time

Bullet isn't chess for most people. It is playing the 70's game perfection.

speed becomes less of a factor as elo goes up. After about 1900 it's more important to make good moves than move fast although you still have to move fast

time can be used as an ally and sometimes is an enemy. what is important is to make sure you are doing the right moves at a quick speed like FrancisWeed said

if you think your opponent is thinking way longer than you are, you can spend more time thinking so that you have about 5 seconds in time advantage, this can help your position as well

Ok!

True, chopperxd123, when the opponent is thinking, you can think of your own move

Also @Ew3n3 we are at the same elo, so another tip I have is that since players at out elo will almost always trade equal value even if the trade worsens their position, you can premove the recapatures and also not do these trades as it can throw of opponent premoves
