LOL, and you guys are trying to convince me that bullet chess requires real thinking? PaperLlama literally just told someone to premove their first 5 to 10 moves without thinking about what the other person does. I think my point has been proven, a lower rated player cannot make quality moves in bullet.

I don't remember if I said it in this topic, but FWIW, I think bullet is pretty much a variant.

Most of OP's opponents will run out of time before a full game can be played, so losing some pawns in the opening for the sake of time is a very sensible trade IMO.

Or... dont play bullet

Then why do you keep playing it?
I mean I know you want to get your elo close to your others but you keep saying its so annoying if I hated bullet I would stop playing.I mean its not like it gets you money the higher you elo gets.If you don’t like it stop playing or at least say you like it a little bit.

I just do whatever works as soon as I can. I play 2 | 1 because that feels more like blitz than bullet. I am actually about as good in all three atm (606 bullet, 608 rapid, 620 blitz) and just play what works. I have gotten a few brilliants (https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/78542497007?tab=review, https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/78801719117?tab=review, https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/79125666345?tab=review, https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/79019029761?tab=review, and https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/79061544393?tab=review), which is over half of my nine total brilliants! (I might have more but I don't have diamond and cannot game review every single game). Bullet has provided some games that I would love to have @GothamChess game review, the funniest one being https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/79103503243?tab=review, where my opponent had mate in one and blundered mate in one. I think bullet is fine, but mostly only 2 | 1 IMO. (the craziest game I want to send to gothamchess is https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/78022342221?tab=review if anyone is wondering, but it is a blitz game). Just play 2 | 1 like it is a 3 min game and just be calm and chill and fast. I spend a few seconds on most moves, at most like 5-10, however I try to win and can play fast if needed (the second half of https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/78667307485?tab=review being a major example). Hope this helps!
