I have account for 13years. Bullet player since 2018.

My goal was reaching 2000elo before making 40years old! I made it this month with 41! I said to myself, that if I reach 2000 I stop at least one year! I pass to blitz 3minutes! Now I wanna reach 2000.

But is so hard don't play a bullet game! Sometime i think maybe I can reach 2100... In other moments I think... If I play I will go down to 1800 and stop playing blitz and again 500games a week... Again and again!!!.

What to do??!?

Any 2000bullet record people, out there??? Can you share your experience?

Just play for fun. If you get better then so be it. You will peak and fall down depending on form. Anything over about 1200 is a strong rating anyway. My bullet is just about 2000 right now, just over. I don’t think you need to quit or stop after getting to a certain rating. Just my thoughts, no need to listen if you disagree

I am roughly 2000 in bullet. I understand your addiction. I keep wanting to push for better, but it is so hard. I keep bouncing from 1950 to 2030, and I get angry. To make matters worse, my chess in other time controls is worse than it has been in years.

I hate the feeling of be angry about going down and then I play more and more and finally I go 200points under my record!!!

Last 3 years I played almost only bullet. And make some puzzles lessons and review games!

Now that I started playing more blitz, I think so many bullet games help me in blitz! I had 1736record from Jan 2024 and today I just break the record direct to 1789!

I never had such a implement of record points in bullet !

ive basically quit bullet for 2 years straight. Then I played again, and now I've quit again. I just found it too tiring to play bullet, so I stopped.
