In BULLET, I feel chained to 1100!

Playing bullet is great fun to me and I have good days and bad days, but lately 1100 seems like a magnet drawing me towards it from both directions. I have gotten to the point where once I claw my way back over, I take a break and try to reach 1200. It used to be much easier. I don't study my losses, because I usually know my blunders seconds after I make them, but it seems my Black defense doesn't hold up the way it used to. Plus I still continually get caught losing my Queen on premove too far in advance. Does anyone else in the 1100 bullet range feel it has gotten more challenging lately?

Yeah, based on your numbers that is hard to disagree with. I guess I am just too slow. But I still like the fast paced excitement of bullet. After 20 years it's hard to shift gears.
