How to improve in bullet?

The best way to become a better bullet player is to become a better chessplayer.

if I were your coach, I would have you stop playing bullet and blitz. Learn basic principles of openings and endings. And when you are a legitimate OTB 1700+ player, then go back to faster time controls.

Most coaches tell their students at your level NOT to play bullet. It will just teach bad habits that will interfere your development.

I will have to agree with this statement. "First improve overall chess skills then try to play bullet afterwards", sounds very real.

Something like "15I10 rapid" be a good idea before embarking on bullet.

Meh….doesnt really matter. Your score doesn’t really reflect your chess play at all because the lag is ridiculous….so you might luck out and get some games with good connection, then some with horrible connection. It really doesn’t reflect anything about you being a chess player so I wouldn’t worry about it being 700. The absolute only reason I play bullet is piece of mind the majority of players aren’t running software and cheating. There’s nothing more annoying than wasting an hour of your day playing a 30 min game…somehow getting steam rolled by a player with a 100 Elo….reporting…then gaining a point for your time and the cheating player simply logs back in with one of the plethora of accounts already made and isn’t banned yet…so lame

YOU DONT IMPROVE CALCULATION IN BULLET IF YOU DONT PRACTISE CALCULATION IN LONGER TIME CONTROL GAMES

Work on your openings and endgames so you can do them quickly and not have to spend as much time and brainpower on more predictable moments other than the middlegame.

Just keep playing bullet and move fast, otherwise if you wanna get past 2100+ you also gotta learn how to actually play decent which means you gotta play rapid or at least blitz too.
