Recently I was playing some lightning chess (some may call it bullet) for money in real life. Now I won a few games but ultimately the people I were playing were not very strong speed players. Now I'm good at blitz 3|0 & 5|0 but I really struggle with 1|0. I feel like I literally have no time to evaluate a position or look for tactics. I have to move so fast half the time I don't even see my opponents moves because I'm pre moving my pieces XD. Although there must be some methods for fixing this because (granted I'm not a GM) Hikaru has a 3000+ bullet rating. If anybody has some ideas, tips, training advice, they could give me that would be awesome.
Looks like you play ludicrous openings on purpose in your chess.com bullet games.
Ikr... Usually Im pre-moving on move 3. I get so paranoid with time... dosnt help I watch IMs & GMs and how fast they move, and I go and try to copy them. =(
oh that game I was just testing something. See I figure if I provoke them to look for mating nets they'll waste time XD. as you can see though I made a nice little defence on the QS XD
