If someone complains about losing on time during bullet the they're playing the wrong game.

No insult was intended, just having a good laugh.
I just cannot help it. At some point in most bullet games I forget that it is bullet and spend more than a second on a move. At other forms of chess I am not bad at all, but at bullet I suck. I struggle to stay over 1000. I generally lose when I am a Queen and three pieces up or about to deliver mate, whereas my opponent has managed to use anything from 0.2 to 5 seconds fewer than me.
It is embarrasing that my bullet rating languishes many hundreds of points below my ratings at other rates of play, but I am not complaining. That is the game. I am working on speeding up my vision for the really obvious. At normal speeds you can take time to"sink in" to a position. At bullet you have to see instantly what is attacking what and hopefully rather more than that. Bullet has also shown up deficiencies in my intuition for strong moves and plans. In slow chess there is time to look at several and weigh them up against each other. At bullet, if you want to win by playing stronger chess rather than by using less time than your opponent, then you have to just know where the pieces belong!
I expect that improving at bullet will eventually lead to improvements at slower rates of play.
And the super-fast mouse I have on order might help too!!

This cracked me up, because I do the same thing and always kick myself. I think you are doing it right and I agree that when your "vision" in bullet improves that will improve other aspects of your game. I like bullet to show myself what I have learned is sticking, and for fun. That's about it.
