I use the premove option. It works two ways, it saves loads of time, but loses material if applied wrong. Everone can use it or not, it's your own choice.
I haven't played as many Bullets as you, but haven't had any negative comments about premoving. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though.
Absolutely no worries here Titos75 :) Appreciate your comments.
I am undecided as yet if using premove is against the true spirit of bullet chess .
ie . Premove the whole game and win on time regardless of position..not something i tend to do but most certainly possible!
eg. i tend to drop back to my 1900 bullet standard when an increment is used...like 1 1 bullet.

I imagined such . 1 0 Bullet is a different fish altogether as compared to increment bullet.
Premove in such games is a must i now believe.
Thankyou Florisz.
I have won many games premoving 90-95 % of my moves against 2000 rated opponents and had 45-50 secs still left on the clock .
It reminds me of playing against a 1600 ish computer at bullet. The computer moves VERY fast( premove speed) but plays really quite weak moves .
It just outspeeds the opponent.
So in many ways i think what i was trying to say was..is it okay to play a whole game in such a style using 90-99% premoves. Disregard the style and content and just clock them out.
Best regards .
Hello peoples of Chess.com.
I am now nearing 1000 bullet games in Live Chess.
I started off playing without premove and got to a rating of 1900ish.
I then decided to enable the premove option and within 50 games my rating shot up to 2240ish.
There being a certain hostilty towards my use of this function i decided to disable the function and within another 50 games played my rating took a 150 + drop !
The point to all this being .. Why are some members so enraged at the premove?
I find it to be a double edged sword , effective if used correctly , disaster if not.
So the question is..to premove or not to premove?
