I think it is not the problem to play bullet but there are some things that i hate.
1. In many cases it is all about fast mouse movement and not about chess at all. Even in completely lost position premoves can give victory.
2. Losing to a much weaker player. It is possible to lose to a player who's rating is much lower than yours in rapid, blitz, daily(any other time control).
3. Sometime i do not see that my opponent made a move and waiting and my clock is ticking down. I have know idea what to do with it.
4. Sometimes i am paired against speed demons who make moves instantly and have like 30 seconds advantage on clock in the end. Sometimes there is a streak of many such players. I keep losing and losing on time. After losing many games this way in a row i start premoving where i shouldn't and lose games in couple moves.
5. Looks like almost no one wants to resign when they lose a lot of material. They start playing faster and more confident in the believe that they will win on time.
Because all of this i can easily tilt 400-500 points. My highest rating is around 1700 but i can go down to 1200 very fast and cannot go higher for a long time.
What is our experience in bullet? Do you like this time control?
