Why is every idiot just playing one game and then runs away in bullet chess?

Wants to keep the rating points?

Avatar of yrusoobad

Regardless if they won or lost, most of the players don't play rematches

I hate that, why play just one game in bullet? what's the point?  I love playing first to 5 or 10 wins.  Invite me to play if you like to play bullet.. muliple bullet games.

And 30 minutes later - 

Funny!! Thought I'd play just ONE bullet - finally played SIX, won them all and got my rating OVER 2000 for the first time EVER!!

BULLET 2001 !!!

And I don't even LIKE bullet... :-)

Bullet is addictive, I left all my ratings at max here in chess.com, (playing somewhere else now).

Avatar of solskytz

Bullet is not addictive. I play a few games once in a blue moon and feel no inclination to play and play and play and play and play...

It's because it's silly and full of blunders - and very stressful - you have to play almost before you understand what the opponent did (sometimes really before you know his move) - not to mention the implications of the opponent's move. 

Blitz, on the other hand - is VERY addictive... :-)

Don't play bullet, especially 1|0. It can cause hair loss, prematue-aging, blood pressure and a lot more.

Your best bet is to stick with 3|0.

Avatar of solskytz

Indeed - I have no hair, I'm prematurely 44 (this should have happened only in like twenty more years or something)...

On the other hand, about blood pressure and a lot more I really don't know... :-) doesn't seem to apply.

I do not like bullet so much (I am bad), 2|1 is fun, 1|0 is nonsense IMO. I like 3|2 but I am not so good at it either, without an increment I would always lose on time.

Everybody has to do what they love and enjoy (just so long as it hurts nobody else...)

Good or bad - anyone can use a bit of fun here and there.

Even if it hurts them?

Avatar of solskytz

Hmmmm.... that depends if it hurts in a good way, I guess...
