I guess I should have done some more homework before blasting out malcontent. My bad zborg.

Hey, @Gman, you wrote the same thread for Blitz, just 3 months ago.

Time for some new material, maybe?

P.S., Cute daughter.  She'll be a heartbreaker.  Smile

g2em3 if i played u in bullet chess in some alternate universe, here is what would happen:

1. I would beat you in 40 seconds or less

2. I would say 'gg' about 25 seconds in when I have a clearly better position

3. I would accept a rematch but not play.  I would instead say in the chat box 'pwned!  come back when you have full brain power'

4. I would feel genuine warmth in my heart when I read your resulting forum topic about our game Laughing

But seriously it does sometimes irk me when a player won't give an immediate rematch in bullet, although I am guilty of this as well.

If it helps, just remember Bullet has nothing to do with chess it is simply a matter of who can move the fastest You can suck at chess and still have a decent bullet rating because you can move faster then the other guy Bullet is just a waste of time

I've had loads of wins by checkmate in bullet

I'm glad you have had wins in Bullet by checkmate, but the fact still remains that Bullet is just a matter of who can move the fastest and does not prove any real skill at all. Like i said you can suck at chess and still have a decent Bullet rating because you can move faster then your opponent it does not mean you are any better it just means you can move faster

if my opponent loses, maybe he wants to redeem himself in a rematch, usually i say gg and if he says gg i'll give him a rematch. sometimes i give someone a rematch, then they dont give me a rematch afterwards to play the rubber match lol

if my opponent wins, well its up to me if i want to rematch or not xD

Let's have Brenee play the Chesshole in Bullet.  I'll bring the popcorn.

Prove it.  Increase your rating a few hundred points by premoving more.

You're right it's a variant, but it's not about hand eye coordination as much as it's about pattern recognition, mostly tactical patterns.  What the lesser bullet player stops to calculate the better bullet player recognizes without calculating at all.

Mr_Tarkanian

Lets have a round robin playoff of Wafflemaster, Brenee and the infamous Chesshole in Bullet.  MAKE....THIS.....HAPPEN!!!!

Don't expect too much out of me, I haven't played speed chess since I bought my new mouse a few months ago (a great way to temporarily quit by the way!)... I'm used to it now but there's still the rust.

Mr_Tarkanian

Still, though, you have to be the favorite heading into the showdown with little Brenee and the always ready Chesshole.

i played a few bullet games (wow!) and i found out that 2/3 of the games do end in check mate but...

I also learned that if you take much more than about 1 second you will lose on time.

I know an average game have 40 moves, how many moves have a average bullet game?

g2em3

Not that this is a acurate average but I took my last 50 games and averaged the moves and it was 31.3 moves. Highest was 65, lowest was 13,

i think i average about 35 - 40 moves for bullet chess.
