Because master can do whatever the F they want?
Seriously... 3 and 2 or 5min are much better... one can only suppose 3min is to avoid cheating?

@pushwood... couldn't agree more. Rapid is surely Chess at best? Still quite fast, but a proper skill game. Unfortunately the rumor is... not even 3min is safe nowadays.
Mouse wars ? lol, who plays bullet with a mouse! touch screen or tablet is WAY faster.
I do play with a mouse!
I guess 90% of bullet players use mouse ( on desktop or laptop whatever thay have at home).
To avoid cheaters .
I dont think it is the main point.
3 min is enough to play a good quality of chess.
I can play trash in bullet, but I cannot play trash at 3 min time control.

I was actually talking about 3 min games..................
I don't think avoiding cheaters is the reason, I've come across a couple cheaters in 5 min or 3|2, but that is because they can make a new account at my rating. Even then I have beaten a few cheaters all due to time, and that they use too much in a basic endgame looking for the right move. At a master level, they could easily beat a cheater even in 3|2 or 5 min. As well as cheaters don't USUALLY get to that high a rating without being banned. I feel 3|0 is a stupid timeframe and masters should play 3|2.
Well rumor be... one can easily get a UI program that do the moves For you, lol... cheater dude don't even enter the moves? So not even bullet or hyperbullet is safe. Online Chess is effectively ruined. Unless one goes premium and only play other premium member. Is that possible?
Of course this thread will be locked in less than 3min... because they don't want people to know about UI bots. Might affect bidness.

Stupid?
Hilarious, the problem is that a lot of masters are now in playing 30 secs ultra bullets.
The reasons is that people are getting stronger in every corner of the world ( People can solve Rubic tube from 25 secs to < 5 secs, people can run marathon from 3 hours to just 2 hours).
Same apply in chess, with lots of opening database , I saw a few people prepared opening lines up to 25 moves.
Then why waste time in longer games when you can prepare your own and apply your valuable time only when needed.

I won my "Kids, don't try this at home!" game with a prepared novelty on move 28.
In my opinion, I feel increment (or reaching a time control) is pretty much necessary, partly because I play on a slow computer, and partly because it always disgusts me when I see masters making moves a 1000 would make (no offence). By the end-game, most games I see, the masters just make moves instantly pretty much just seeing who's computer, mouse, and hand movements are faster. I prefer 3|2 online, and 25|5 in person. Why do masters choose to play this way?
