I came here with some hope. A 1500 bullet/blitz player wrote an entire page. Love the confidence.

Another tip: if your opponent has less than 1 second you can consider  to sac your queen randomly to win on time

I haven't read the entire thread but disagree with the OP's premises 1,3 and possibly 4.

I play 2/1 and win a number of games because pre moves result in the immediate loss of the queen. That passive one move multiple pawn opening nearly always loses to normal development with a timely e5.  Check check check ---good for sub 1300 players.

You need to learn traps and gambits to either waste your opponent's time or to make your opponent fall into a trap. You need to learn things that your opponent has probably not seen before. Here is a good channel with a lot of traps and gambits: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLXYjOKeyT-KCwK09Bvvxwg?sub_confirmation=1

Bullet Chess = Trolling Chess

time is everything in Bullet. Anything even as small as 2 or 5 seconds. Thats why premoving was made(probably not but who cares rn im about to go to play some bullet). To save up a good 2 or 5 seconds(10 seconds if your opponent is unlucky) premove the "Kings Indian Defense"(shown below)

this premove might not make you be in a good position, but in bullet, like i say, "time is Everything"(not most of the time usually in 1100 games or up it is usually the openings or positions

Thanks! Great advice! I shied away from playing bullet -- maybe re-reading and practising against the computer I finally will not be afraid of 'bullets'! wink.png

One minute chess? Is that really chess?

It has 64 squares and all the right pieces and is called chess. So yes.

Sounds like a lot of stuff to utterly ruin your slow game.
