Bye Bye bullet

> he played another bullet game. Caught red-handed.
yes. but I wanted to play blitz but accidently clicked on bullet didn't realize it.. so I resigned.. I did not see it. it was a mistake :D
mistakes can sometimes happen.. I didnot wanted to play the game but I also didnot realize it..
True,I once played it and I used to do random moves on 1m and then I always used to play bad my score was all messed up.
SO DON'T PLAY IT
The variant which requires no thinking and is all about pattern recognition and mouse speed doesn't improve your chess skills? Crikey that is a surprise
I too stopped bullet a few months ago (after reaching a modest rating threshhold).
I don't think bullet is ideal for beginners in chess. I think you play more reflexively and entrench bad habits.
Longer time formats are better for developing good chess habits. Initially many things have to be thought thru explicitly to come to the best decision and this takes less advanced players time.

Still, i think that more advanced players who are able to quickly assess positions can play it and gain a lot of experience by trying out different variants and lines.
all i do is play bullet, i am low rated but i am happy. I am not trying to impress anyone with my elo. I play purely for the love of the game.

So true, that I had to repeat it!

Blitz will also ruin your game (I'm in a slump because I've played to much blitz... throwing my game off)
