Title says it all. I'm kind of tilting right now so I need help. I play 30 sec bullet and I want to get to 2k. I even peaked at 1964 but then fell all the way to where I'm currently at.

What should I do?

For bullet? Just play fast. Don't make long pauses and make fast moves your priority. Instead of playing 3/4 moves at 75% play 1/2 at 50 %

Blitz is boring.

Dunno. I'm tilting as well right now in rapid, 4 losses in a row the other day... yeah its depressing. I think maybe try longer bullet which will allow more thinking. Also since its bullet, maybe try doing 3 minute puzzle rush do improve speed pattern recognition and stuff like that?

1 min, I try 1 min I'm too fast for that and lose with -24 points of material and 10 sec up on clock. Latest game says it all.

Too fast and can't see the obvious threats.

In that case, play rapid and blitz to have a better knowledge if the chess board

I don't want to play blitz let alone that r-time control. It's too slow and I get easily bored and tired. I don't enjoy playing it too.

Trust me 10 sec at lower levels never works.

My recommendation is to stop playing bullet and actually concentrate on playing chess well.

i looked at one of your recent losses to see if i could make some helpful suggestions. You did not take a free bishop on move 3. You then hung a piece on move 7. That is not chess. You are making premoves so that you are racing rather than playing chess.

Also, remember that bullet ratings are highly variable and frequently fluctuate by 100 points or more. This means that, if you are grinding bullet and finally reached 1900, your actual bullet skill is likely far below 1900 and you are just on a chance uptick.

If you really want to achieve a higher rating, study some basic chess. When you increase your chess understanding, you will earn a higher rating.

I need to find some 30 sec arenas where people are easily losing.

I got 2000 bullet by just being good at chess.. if you don't want to go through the basics you won't get 2000. Improve your attention span... if blitz is too long your attention span is beyond cooked

Instead of copy pasting the same thing over and over. I don't like playing chess that's slow. Not enough dopamine.

In that case we cannot help you. We have tried but you don't seem to want to do your own part

I'm already good at chess, just underrated. Why? Because I hate going through all that 3 min games for only a little bit of rating gain or none at all.
