How can I play matches in the “Bullet” or “Rapid” mode?


The time control you choose affects the corresponding rating.
So if you choose to play 3|0 minute game, you will gain and lose points in your blitz rating. If you play 1|0, this will affect your bullet rating. And if you choose 15|10 for instance, this will change your rapid rating.
So if you want to play rapid games, just play 10 minute per side or longer games. If you want to play bullet games, just play 1|0 games.
Though if you want to improve your chess, it is best not to play games shorter than 15|10. If you just want to kill some time and have fun, any time control you like will do.
