I just got 1300 in rapid. But i am still VERY bad in bullet and i can't go over 700. It would be very nice if some of you could take a little time to give me some Tips how to improve in bullet!
Don’t worry, practise and you’ll get better. If you want to get better quickly I suggest you get premium or other membership plans. A way to get premium for free (limited time like one month or less) is to report ANY bugs or problems to staff management, I reported a bug I found and the very helpful staff member named Artur gifted me one month of premium.
I feel like just playing a lot is rly helpful, I don’t have memberships but I’m improving quickly

honestly the best solution for almost anything is just practice, i just watch gms play and youtube vids and then picking up on their techniques i just play, and it also useful to have a friend to play with, ive played almost a thousand games against my friend and gained probably 600-700 elo in each rating over the course of those games. he topped out at 1600 in bullet.
This is a very common situation, and I often tell my students that the skills for rapid and bullet are almost completely different. To improve at bullet, you have to stop trying to find the "best" move like you would in a rapid game and instead focus on playing simple, intuitive moves very quickly, while always looking to create basic threats.

It is the other way around for me. To get better at chess in general is to play bullet a lot. Play crap opening in bullet; it will sharpen your chess sense. I do not even solve chess tactics puzzles.
So you basically just skip tactics and spam bullet with random openings? Nice.

my friend claims he got good at bullet by playing the bongcloud. he also says he has a lamborghini. he is 14 years old.
play 1 | 0 and premove everything, if you can’t checkmate in time, be sure to move fast so you will win by timeout, the key is to move as fast as u can, and if ur running out of time, try ur best to check them so u’ll gain a few secs in time, play as often as u can, this is what works for me!
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
