Hyperbullet is a forced win for black because White’s clock will run out first

got any proof to support that?

.1 seconds per premove. White goes first. If everyone premoves, black wins.

yeah so white has a small disadvantage

lmao its like so small

give me one game where all the players premoved in hyperbullet and black won by flagging

I know. The chances are low to near impossible, but black does have a tiny, tiny advantage.

a microscopic advantage lol

Yes, lol. But it’s more likely that white times out.

Every once in a while there are such people who jump in and say that blitz and bullet are not chess. They contend that because of the dependency on speed and time pressure, you cannot make high quality moves like you can in classical. Therefore, blitz and bullet are closer to a variant than "actual chess."

There are a few things wrong with this assessment. First thing is, "chess" is being used as a subjective term. It is not supposed to be one. When you say that a certain time control is "chess" (or not), you basically conjure up your own set of rules as to what chess is. 

So first, let's determine what chess is. I will use google definition because it is the simplest.

Chess is a game between two players on a 8x8 checkered board. Both sides have eight pieces and eight pawns starting in their respective positions (I don't have to define where exactly they start at, now, do I?) 

I have checked other places besides google definitions, including meriam-webster and Wikipedia. Neither site mentions the use of a chess clock to determine what chess is. 

Second - the logic can be turned on its head. Suppose you say that because speed chess emphasizes speed, it is not chess. You cannot back up this claim - therefore, I am equally justified in saying that because classical chess emphasizes slow thinking, it is not chess.

After all, chess is a war game between two armies, is it not? I'm sure that when two armies clash each other, the generals do not have the luxury of thinking for forty minutes, "hmm, my opponents are coming through this pass... how exactly should I deal with them? Should I send the archers? ... " indecision may lead to defeat in a real war. So, the general must be able to make quick and decisive movements - just like blitz! With this logic, (which is just as faulty as its counterpart), I can say that "Blitz and bullet are the purest forms of chess. Classical is not chess, because you are given too much time to think. Classical is a variant".

In reality, chess is chess. The time control only emphasizes what skill sets are used more - classical chess favors deep thought while bullet chess illustrates quick decision making. Neither blitz nor classical are variants.

the argument i've heard alot about bullet chess is that its not actually about how fast you can think and how fast your brain can process different positions, but how fast you play and how good you are with a mouse, which is not really chess, but then again, thats a part of online chess.

Yes you are repeating the argument I addressed, but thanks for reading my post anyways, appreciate it

Also you keep out of this you have been writing weird comments So pls stay out 

you’re literally talking crap about people I’m friends with and acting like a butthurt discord 12 year old. Even if they attacked your chess skill there’s no need to respond with personal attacks and insults.
