I am 500 ish rated and I’m not very good at bullet, any tips?

My honest advice is to not play bullet until you are much higher rated. I didn't play bullet regularly till about 1200 rapid and some would say that is early.

responding to all of you since I don’t know how to do the quotes thing. Sapphire, I think that’s good advice I’m perfectly fine with sticking to blitz and rapid. Master, how so. Chess, very helpful

The irony of tips for bullet is no more bullet sadly 😝 though I would suggest to focus on the attack, most will blunder Iin bullet so if you make your first priority to protect your king in the least penetrable way possible and your second priority to set up simple mates or pins then your opponent will blinder eventually!

If you're playing bullet and you constantly end the game with 3-8 blunders and a ton of mistakes then bullet isn't for you (yet) IMO if you aren't able to checkmate half of your best chance of winning is to flag the opponent then I would suggest you find some fun mobile skill game.

How would you drive a car faster? By driving faster, but not faster as you would crash the car! So you cannot play chess faster without additional chess skills alike more driving skills. This takes time and some work. Play first better, then faster.

Gabe, I don’t have any trouble with blitz bc I play five minutes, but thanks for the advice.
