1 min game

After spending a lot of time in the 1 minute game, I draw the conclusion that it is impossible to  improve. Sometimes, I have 10 seconds left and my opponant 1 second and I manage to lose. I still play fast. Do you know why ?

If you want to improve, play rapid, not bullet.

I keep losing on time like you, i feel like the opponent pretty much always gets a lot more time. I mean if they don´t lose time but i do fast then how the hell am I supposed to win??? This is not a problem on Lichess.

1 minute chess is not a competition of skill, but simply whoever can click the fastest

Not really.  At least for me, I have improved by playing more. the more games I play, the more common positions I see, and it becomes more intuitive what to do in each given position. Most people dont think they will improve, and maybe they won't, I just know that I have at least a little.

Speed and survival is the only thing that matters at U1600 or even U1800 bullet. You're simply too slow to find the right moves.

Try to play 3 minutes games then.

For me, three minute games are worse than either rapid or bullet. You dont have enough time to move the best moves the whole game, and the clock doesnt run down enough to cover your blunders. Your choice, though I dont like blitz.

you're not alone.. bullet is not my thing too. most of my bullet games (rated) either ended up in losses by timeout in winning positions or losses by resignation because i made random quick moves/pre-moves..i think my performance is better in blitz as i am more comfortable and relaxed with that time control, although i may make the same stupidity sometimes.. but bullet is the worst..it makes me nervous
