Do you like to win on time on Bullet or actually mating?

In Bullet most of the time the game ends with time running out. Do you like it to win by the clock or do you want to win by actually winning?

Well the last game I played against you I managed to mate you with just a queen, but most of the time I play with the goal to out-time the opponenet

I like mating! I've never played bullet...

I play 2 1 bullet and I often "mate"

I like to 'mate' in bullet. Although, getting your opponent into time pressure helps bring a mate sooner than later.

I'll take anything. If I can force a win on time by playing a complicated series of checks, I'll do it.

My bullet wins are mostly mates, but my opponents seems to beg for it by playing passively to win on time.

i think mating is the "right" ending of a game.

i often lose on time when i'm some pieces ahead and win when i'm without a pawn. bullet is a strange play, more similar to a cat fight than to a chess game. but i must admit i have lost two three-days-per-move games just because i forgot i had to move.

finally, i rather like to win for my good playing (if i'm capable of any) than because of my opponent's lack of time.

p.s. anyway, winning is winning. Tongue out

I just play moves. Don't give a hoot whether the thing tells me I lost or won at the end of it :p I know I played badly in either case. But each game gets me through life another two interesting minutes at least. :-)

Mate is preffered, second best is a resignation and then comes winnin on time.

A win is a win

I do not view winning on time as a true victory. You can say "A win is a win", but the truth is not all players can move the pieces fast enough.

Chess is a game of the mind, not a game of dexterity.

I broke one of my fingers in the summer, and my hand can not click as fast as it used to.

I dislike bullet chess simply because I feel more emphasis is put on how quickly you move your hand, and not how quickly u think.

i like to sac all my pieces in the last ten seconds and win on time
