BULLET IS CANCER

What is up with bullet? It is so fun but so infuriating, I'm so mad!!! I just started to see what it was about because I was bored but it is so much fun!!! But it is freaking cancer!! I was up a queen and 2 minor pieces and I lost on time!!!!

What is up with that, and the problem is I want to play more even though it is garbage and is barely chess!!!! It is like a drug and it it ruining my life!!! If you think normal chess is addictive don't even try bullet it is sooooooo lush with tactics, however you will be out of time if you look for them, and if you do find one then your opponent will just premove a bunch of random rook moves so you time out. I'm tired of this crap.

Why are you saying bye?

How? What part of the post tells you that?

There are these new things called increments. Made especially for people who can't accept flagging as a legitimate part of the game.

Admittedly, the community of bullet is really fond of trash talking because bullet doesn't let you improve yourself as much as rapid, just like old grandmasters say. 

To be good at bullet, you just have to not blunder and recognize when your opponent blunders, even at my level (1700 and 1800 before). With rapid, people are much nicer because you can directly see improvement and you invest a lot of time into making the best moves than just blitzing out dubious and passive openings in fractions of a second, and then when you blunder you either resign or you try to flag your opponent. There's less skill involved with bullet because blunders are ubiquitous, the skill in bullet comes from consistency, not blundering, and punishing blunders as fast as possible.

And what do you think the "this" in that sentence refers to?

I appreciate. In my view, Chess must be contemplative. 

You should probably revisit my original post.

Have you tried hyperbullet?

stupid thing with bullet is that you can't premove if you don't have a subscription - or am I missing something ?

I enjoy it though.

Just because they don't like bullet doesn't mean that they want to leave the site...

Also, as long as you are signed up to chess.com, you can premove. It is under settings.

Bullet is it's own game. The factors you mentioned are a big part of it, where time management is just as important as sound play, and opponents who play it often have plenty of time burner tricks up their sleeves. Bullet isn't for me, I'm awful a it, but I can see the appeal for thrill seeking players. Rapid and daily bore me lately, but I really like blitz. Maybe blitz is a good solution for you. You have to play fast, but there is still time to make really good moves and see tactics.  

Bullet is easy.

To some, defiantly not to me.

bullets don't kill people, people do.  cancer kills people.  therefore bullet isn't cancer.  qed.

^ dat man spik da troof yo!

Bullet is probably the best way to get addicted. I am working with drug addicted since almost 20 years, and I motivate them to play chess. But I am always afraid that some of them will once begin to replace their drug addiction with bullet or blitz addiction. I am not attacking the bullet players here, though. Probably a lot of people are able to spend only few hours playing per day. But for people who think they don't have control over the things it would be better to stop completely playing bullet and focus more on daily or rapid. It sounds perhaps weird, but the excitement of playing just one or two daily games can be huge, especially if you spend a lot of time analysing your game.

if you don t like it you just do not play it.

it is more like gunfighting than chess.
