i win almost every bullet game, the only thing you need to do is: dont get checkmated and dont let you time go below their time. But why is it so difficult to win rapid? I really try to think slow.

If you are one of those that just dance around to let the clock run out tells me that you do not have the skill to play rapid.

I do not like rapid, because people take to long to think and when they  have lost they just wait for the clock to run out.

I maybe do have the skill to play rapid, bcs it looks like i have a better rating than you.

And if you want you can see my bullet games to see what i do. (Not dancing around with the pieces)

But thanks for the answer.

But how much better?

 

Part of the reason why some players feel that bullet is an easier time control is because the games are generally filled with errors and these players are better than their opponents in managing the situation - knowing how to navigate the highly volatile positions.

 

But there is another group of players finding bullet games very challenging (if you have followed the forums closely, you should be able to find a thread with a heading like "why is bullet so difficult"). They prefer to slow down and think through their moves.

Bullet chess is basically an action video game. If you're good at action video games, and know how to play chess, you can do well at bullet chess.

I find blitz never mind bullet very difficult. I enjoy having time to calculate 2-3 lines at 2-3 moves deep in critical moments, do my CCT and finish off with a blunder check.

By the time I do that, I have already flagged lol.

Speaking of this, in the latest bullet game, why did you play 19. Rxc5 (allowing 19...Nxc5) if you mention you are not "dancing around with the pieces"?
