The Bullet Chess Handbook

What if a person rated nearly 2400 in bullet chess wrote a guide to help you become a strong bullet player, would you be interested in it? This is a survey thread made to judge the interest in such an endeavor. Please let us know if you think it's a good idea or not.

                             Thank you

Oh, of course y'all should know that it's not me who knows how to play bullet chess

I believe Nakamura (the highest rated bullet player in the world, his rating on this site is over 3100) is writing a book on bullet chess.

So you would wait for Nakamura's book, Charetter?

Why would someone be interested in that? There are thousands of books about chess.

Are there thousands of books about bullet chess, Jenium?

I'd rather study someone with a 2400 in normal time controls.

Chances are if someone is 2400 in bullet, then they are really good at normal time controls and, I'm sure, the first thing they are going to teach is that you have to be good at slow time controls to be so good at bullet.

Naka has already published a book on that subject: http://www.amazon.de/Bullet-Chess-One-Minute-Mate-ebook/dp/B005HZ6FNE

Do you think you get better at bullet by reading a book about bullet?

indeed indeed

@Kleelof: His rating here for live standard is nearly 2100. That's pretty good!

I always thought you get better at bullet chess when you switch from tea to espresso

Not the best reviews I've read for a book:D

Who?

Regardless of who it is, it only goes to support what I said.

If someone were advertising to sell their bullet book based on their bullet rating, it would seem a bit short-sighted since they probably know enough to release a book on getting better at chess in general that would appeal to WAY MORE people.

So I probably wouldn't buy the book knowing the person didn't realize this. 

Well thank you for your input, Kleelof! Honest input will help to judge better:)

I think buying a book about getting better at chess is about like buying a book on how to lose lots of weight in 10 days.

Maybe it will help a little at first, but do nothing for long-term goals/improvement.

Not surprising as I doubt that there are special secrets how to play bullet. - Other than being good at chess and using common sense tools (being fast, pre-move, quick mouse, good connection, familiar openings). I haven't seen a single player who was really good at bullet but really weak at slow chess.

There may be something that strong bullet players do that us standard chess players are unaware of?

Perhaps but it would seem this something they might know is specific to bullet and not a general chess thing.

But, hey, I've never read a bullet book, so this is really just speculation.

But what's the bright side of all this doom and gloom?
