Hi !
I don’t know about most “common“ time control as a bullet player myself.
But I know that bullet is the easiest time control to get a higher rating in if you’ve got the tactical awareness, got a few openings memorised and know the most common traps they’d use. (Plus the mouse speed of course…)
That being said, I think that bullet is definitely easier than blitz in that regard.
Greetings and have fun playing chess!
I'm bringing back the forum of the week series... so starting at #1, again.
I might miss a week though. But it'll be a secret, so it's fine.
Anyways, onto the topic. It seems to me that bullet could be the easiest time control to get a higher rating in. Maybe because it's easier to play games, thus gain/lose elo. But it's much more common (for me, at least) to see someone with a 2000+ rating in bullet rather than any other time control, even when Rapid is said to be the most common time control.
What do you think?
