bullet chess ping
Sort:
Is 200 ping playable in bullet chess? Or will there be a disadvantage against those with a lower ping than you in faster time controls?
200 ms is 200 thousandths of a second, easier to think of as one fifth of a second. That is not good for bullet. A good ping in my opinion is less than 40 ms.
Wow seems like I’m at a huge disadvantage in bullet games, my pings are constantly hovering around 200 ping :/ isn’t that disadvantageous for ppl who are staying further away from the server location?
the thing is with bad ping times is it can also vary. in a bullet game that 200 could at times be higher. and that can be frustrating and a disadvantage cause unexpected loss of time etc. you need a ping that is both low and stable. but I think it is just another reason not to take bullet too seriously
Dude, I live in rural area of Australia. People far away from chess.com server in USA than me would be those living in Antarctica only. I have ping around 230- 250 in playing blitz. ( that mean 10s waste of time for 40 moves in 1 min blitz due to lag).😅
