The stalemate rule is dumb and needs more revision. It should be considered a war crime.

See that's your problem. You don't understand that at the highest level bullet makes sense because they have mastered the game so well. At your level bullet is literally just being lazy and unable to win at long time controls due to actual tactics being a thing.
I mean just look at how much lower you are in rapid.

#39, Neanderthals were A. More intelligent than Homo sapiens. And B. WE ARE PART NEANDERTHAL YOU IDIOT. It is in our DNA, Homo sapiens interbred with Neanderthals. Quit using a species of the homo genus who is no longer around today due to the genetical outnumbering of the Homo sapiens as an insult.

My rapid rating is low because I don’t play rapid.

Ofcourse you don't. Why would you play at a time setting where you would get crushed all day everyday? Better to just play bullet using tik tok openings and quick checkmates and hope your opponent runs their clock down LFMAO.

I've played a single bullet game against an unrated opponent. I don't play this garbage time control.

Youre 400 blitz. You don’t know nothing about chess. It takes you 20 minutes to cauculate a single tactic. I could wipe the floor with you in any time control, your choice.

you couldn't beat me if your life depended on it outside of a trash 1 minute game where you have memorized a pathetic sequence of moves. You don't have the ability to think and find good moves, and that's OK. Know your place.
I would never play you because you'd get pissed and rely on a certain fish.

Blitz is more difficult than rapid in the 1200-1800 level. Like half of my blitz games are against players 1700-1800 rapid

#48, ok chicken. but just so you know (it’s shocking how dumb you are) Chess is all memory. It’s pattern recognition, remembering principles, remembering key ideas, remembering imbalances, ect

No, it's not. Not when you rely on cheap tricks and running down the clock. And certainly not for time controls under 3 minutes. A player that has time to think would humiliate you. Probably sub 1000 would.

#48, it’s crazy that the 1200 who doesn’t even understand the game to say I couldn’t take the time to find a good move when he’s never seen one in his life.

This just shows how absolutely clueless you are about what chess is. And how upset you are that your entire conception of your abilities here rely on cheap tricks. Chess is so much more than just memorization, including spatial awareness. You absolute clown. I would never play a person who is dishonest and cannot even resign when they are beat. It shows a lack of sportsmanship and brains. Just rest easy knowing I'd mop the floor with you anytime in 10 minutes or over.

I could find better moves in my sleep than you can by staring at a board for 6 hours. You've never played a single good game outside of bullet games where you have relied on time and time alone to win.

Play him 30 minutes. Show us all how capable you are. I'll get the popcorn.

You gonna play me in a rapid game now after all that talk? Or that all you are, just talk

It really makes sense for someone who calls Neanderthals smart (smart and extinct YEP) to be this triggered over realizing they aren't the chess mastermind they convinced themselves to be.
I think it's too much for his tiny brain to handle that bullet at 2500+ is different than bullet at 1200 LMFAO.
