Should be mentioned that passing ap bio after playing chess in class and cheating on all tests will help your bullet. As my bullet increased 200 pts after I passed the test mysteriously..
Huh, is that a round about way of admitting cheating in bullet? #5

Hi guys I just hit 2500 ELO for after a few months of grinding this "Chess.com" thing! I wanted to share the top 5 tips I used to get to 2500 ELO so you guys can also get there because some people are not 2500 ELO!
Tip #1: Double check your moves. Make sure your move doesn't accidentally leave one of your pieces undefended, and see if your opponent has a very strong response to your move before actually playing it! If your opponent has a very strong response to your move, maybe consider another move.
Tip #2: Put your pieces on good squares. Good squares = the piece controls a lot of squares, makes a lot of threats, prevents your opponents from moving there, and works together with other pieces. If you place all your pieces on good squares, they will be worth more, and work better together so the game will be much easier for you!
Tip #3: Learn Fools Mate! If you learn the Fools Mate (Google Fools Mate) you will have an advantage over your opponent who likely does not know the Fools Mate or will not be as familiar with it and you can play it to surprise them.
Tip #4: Avoid taking AP bio. AP bio in particular is a class notorious for taking up valuable memory circuits needed to improve in chess. Especially as a teenager, when your neuroplasticity is already declining, taking AP bio is extremely detrimental to your chess skills, and it can even take up valuable space in your brain.
Tip #5: Learn the best openings. The best opening for White is 1.e4, with 1.d4 being equally good if you are a positionally minded player. For Black, you can just copy the first move White made and you are good to go. These openings will give you a head start in the game, especially when other players are scratching their heads thinking what they are supposed to do in the beginning.
