Hey 1 minute bullet players out there, aren't you getting sick of this stupid cheat move?

Actually, a lot of people 1800+ do it. It seems stupid to move the pawn and hang the queen, but that's because you pre-move and that's what you need to do in bullet games, right? People who do that usually set out challenges that make them automatically white just so they can do their stupid precious move. I need your opinions on that.

Do you ever see anyone 1800+ or even 1500+ do that move in a blitz or standard game when you don't need to premove?

umm, yea lol.  relax, it's bullet.  premove is a part of the game.  if it were actually chess, it would be called that.  yer angry over blundering in a 1-minute game?  hehe.  best stick to 15 0 :).

1.d4 d5 2.Bg5

At least 1,587 masters played that move (in tournament games I assume).

The position after 2. Bg5 was reached in at least 3300 master's games.

I think a few people over 1800, even 1500, have played that move in games.

yes Julian Michael Hodgson he is a GM so it isnt stupid. It may be cheap and perhaps unskillful but isnt completly stupid.
