Is Bullet Chess Good For Improvement?

I do not recommend playing bullet for improvement. I have been playing bullet a lot recently, and I think my logical chess is far off point or peak.

I have account since 2013. Was mostly blitz player 5/5. Than i pass to 3/2 always slow progress reach 1300. Since 2018 I played 58k bullet games I reach 2000. Now I am back to blitz 3minutes games and in one month I reach 1814 as a record. I plan to reach 2000 and pass to rapid 10 minutes. Let s see !!!!

One problem with bullet is it teaches players that they can make mistakes and still be okay, as long as they play fast enough.

In slow chess, this isn't true. In slow chess, if a player makes a serious mistake, they can expect to get slowly and methodically punished for it - and the clock won't be there to save them ...

Bullet chess is the video game version of chess. It might be good for to see how well you might know a specific opening and its variants. It should be used as a way to have fun but it is not a method for improvement as you do not have the time to think of a long term plan.

bullet forces you to think 3x faster than normal. i don’t enjoy it.

Bullet can be ok but it can also just just depend son te person for being well rounded blitz is probably best but bullet does teach time management and swindle skills which is incredibly important but to improve on things like positional play rapid is better (or analyzing blitz games) but blitz is best for endgames (which can lead to good positional play sometimes ) it just depends on what you want to work on and which time control helps you most
