Bullet is great for you.
Gives you reflex, vision and experience.
Im 2000 in leechess and after you play many games and you go to blitz you can crush them.
If you play alot of blitz and go to rapid you can crush them too.
Is a different game in the same game.
Is Bullet actually good for you?

I'm starting to believe that all time controls have their place in both training and competition.
I thought you have always supported classical and rapid controls only?

Bullet and blitz have always reinforced my own bad habits - namely moving too fast, taking the first good move I see rather than looking for the best one, and focusing too much on one area of the board rather than seeing the whole position.
Of course, these are bad habits that I as a player naturally gravitate towards, and constantly have to work to fight. If you are a disciplined player by nature, it might not hurt your game so much, if at all. I can say with confidence that bullet is not good for me as a player, but the answer might be different for someone else.
I would think that the importance of bullet and blitz increases as one's rating increases.
Almost every high-rated player (titled players, for example) are also speed chess specialists. Compare this to the lower echelons of maybe 800 rated players. It's less important for them.

But then, bullet games also promote rashness in moves played.

It isn't EVEN chess, let alone good chess. 'Win' on time. Pffft...
What if my bullet rating is 300-400 points lower than my blitz rating
Should I stop playing bullet?
Quite possibly. Because if that is the case, the odds are that you're one of the slow folks clogging up the games. Taking 10 seconds to play a move, et cetera. It's downright bad etiquette if you ask me. Now, if you were interested in improving at bullet and making an effort to move fast, that's a different story, maybe.
Well,I play and love bullet too and it's very addictive!But, most of the games are decided by horrendous mistake and blunders.I guess it's for other player's too.So, the point comes what kind of pattern or technique is someone learning from bullet?I am not saying bullet does not represent your chess skill!
