Is Bullet Actually Chess?

Objectively, bullet is chess because it follows the same rules and normally does not end with flagging. I normally lose my checkmate also very rarely is there any dirty flagging.

Bullet is what you get when Chess and Ping-Pong love each other very much...

Bullet is technically chess, but an inferior version of the game. It has to conform to the rules but the execution is sloppy, full of errors and relying on blunders rather than sound play or clever ideas to achieve any measure of success. Those who watch Manchester United will know what I am talklng about.

So you mean just like any other time control chess, with low rated players.

Maybe someone will start a topic "Are low rated players actually playing chess".

NO!! Bullet no chess. Chess is think. When fast too no think about move. Brain is too scared of losing no time. Brain no comprehend what happening. Make random move. If have a longer period like 3 min might be better. But bullet no chess. Hope that helped.

Bullet chess is chess because it's not a variant. I would say to @Scemer that bullet chess is chess

The classification of Bullet Chess as true Chess is subjective. Some argue its fast pace changes the game, while others believe the core rules and objectives remain, thus it's Chess. I want to hear your opinion; do you think Bullet is1 Chess, or not?

Yes bullet is chess

It is more of a medium where we can test our chess intuitions, since there is no time to think.

No it's not.
Random moves will often win the game, especially with the king in endgame.
1 min bullet is silly...fun but silly. Not real chess.

Bullets just chess but more blunders and mistakes and less time………
