Bullet chess removes my understanding of chess. Please help. I cant recover.

Stop playing bullet, and start playing rapid. I prefer 15l10 or 30 minutes.

I guess you have hard situation. Try then doing puzzles, and playing unrated (maybe you are afraid of losing rating after not being able to understand) games rapid. And as I said, play long games like 30 minutes so you can think very much about each move. By doing that, you will regain your understanding. It is not like I have experienced what you feel, but I guess you can say this is my opinion about how to recover.

Bullet really affects your chess. You should have known this I guess. I know you are frustrated, but it’s not like you can do anything that will make you recover quickly. But I guess maybe playing 1 week rapid will make you recover. I see you play blitz not rapid though.

Bullet chess is for people who has super-thinking skills in chess.They don't need much time to think to make a chess moves.Bullet chess is not included in the world chess championship.

We can play it for fun with our freinds to see who is the quickest.Try playing blitz,rapid or classic.I prefer rapid.Its not too slow nor too fast
