Can anyone explain to me the purpose of bullet? I have played a couple of games and I don’t get its one occasion I tried to capture more pieces and obtain more points,but then I lose.

On the second try I focused on strategy but I was beat by time and lost.

On the third try I played to save time but still lost by checkmate.

This seems unfair how do I win?

You get better at bullet by getting better at chess in general. That said, there are some things you can get away with in bullet that aren't possible in slower time controls, but trying to get better at bullet specific strategies is only going to go so far and not help anywhere else.
