Yeah, so ive been stuck on 400 bullet for TOO LONG ive even got coaching. Like at this point, its getting pretty frustrating, and i kinda have no idea what to do. Put ur ideas here pls

Update: hello everybody! after 6 days, i have finally crossed the 400 threshold! I will prob drop to 400 again, but we have finally crossed 400! I would still appreciate tips, as i am trying to get to a 1000 by the end of 2025, which sounds crazy considering i'm 500, but i still think i can do it. But nevertheless, i would still appreciate tips on this forum. Thank you all for your support and help!

Sincerely,

sup2015

One idea is to not do bullet because it’s useless

Learn swindles. Improve premoves, find a good balance between pure speed and actual thinking

Basically, you need to become a better chess player.

think it this way. If you do push ups or pull ups or whatever other excercice, the way you icnrease reps is by getting stronger, that means lifting more weigth or doing something harder. If yo uwant to have morer resistance or think faster, you need to be smarter. Stronger. Only way is, you have to increase your elo.

Generally your bullet would be the lowest between your rapid rating. Because bullet is harder. And it at your level can not be so deep, but in highest level it is. People who say it is useless is because they suck.

Super fast chess is not good for health. Inviting trouble in hands and heart, probably even other situations due to excessive stress. That's my opinion.

I built my own opening systems for both white and black. So I can pre-move patterns I am familiar with. Look at my bullet games. In rapid and classical formats, I have different sets of openings.

thanks! that helps!

Play longer time controls, learn to think about your moves, become an all-around stronger player, and bullet will become easier for you.

Honestly, time is valuable in Bullet. This means that people often premove, so if you can manage to give a check, all their premoves will likely be cancelled, and they'll need to think of another move, which will take them a few seconds. Give enough checks, and you'll win the game.
