I watched a YouTube vid in which the foremost authority on blitz/bullet says just keep playing bullet and I'll begin to "get it". Agree?
Blunders beget blunders
Sort:
I'd stay away from bullet. You won't really learn anything because you are playing too fast. I think that the reasons why we have 4 blunders in a row is because we have a plan -- not the best plan per chess.com. The plan is flawed so chess.com tells us that was a blunder over and over. We played one game where chessl.com kept on telling us to play Rxa1 and Rxa8, but we both avoided knowing that it was just going to be a trade since we both had queens on the back row.

Talking about blunders, check this game of yours:
https://www.chess.com/live/game/1790193031
1. move 7: with Nh4 you get the bishop pair and advantage.
2. move 12.. down a piece you EXCHANGE QUEENS ??? WIth that you HELP your opponent. When down material you AVOID exchanges and try to complicate stuff. For example: he was back in development, king uncastled, weak light squares... you still had SOMETHING to play for. Without queens => ZERO
3. Then you blunder more pieces....
First: get AT LEAST 1800 at tactics trainer ( or do a tactics book with all 30 motifs ) and then play again...
Or do what this guy does and abuse your opponent in the live chat when you make a blunder.

Interesting, thanks. I did not realize that was me vs. u.
I have been analyzing my games with the comp analysis here on chess.com and I have noticed that when my opponent (or myself) blunders another blunder immediately follows, sometimes multiple. I played a game where we each blundered 4X in a row, a little quick math tells you that is EIGHT blunders in a row. Embarrassing and not the point of this post.
The point is, this seems counter intuitive and what I (and others trying to improve) should be doing is recognizing and capitalizing on an opponents blunders.
