How is it possible to play chess faster then the mouse speed?

Trying to observe some top games here at chess.com and I see many 1 min games. How do players play so fast and make no mistake because of the mouse/pointer? It is ok to understand that great chess minds can think extremely fast and find accurate moves in very short time but this is not only about thinking or pondering, it is a matter of your mouse speed? Shortest move that I can do (let's say a simple pawn move) takes at least 0.5 seconds. However, in some games, a player move his bishop from corner to the other corner in 0.1 seconds. How is it possible? Is there something I am missing? I was wondering about that subject about 10 years ago when I was playing online chess at yahoo and I am still looking for an answer. Thanks to everybody who share their ideas.

premove

I also walk alone on the beach of confusion when it comes to one minute chess....

They are not alone--someone took the picture! It is very romantic.

The warmth of a distant cameraman...the echoes of the waves of lament...one minute chess...

I play mostly 1 min games because no like to play 2 min and 3 mins bore me lol. This is only on comp, in person I play mostly 5 min games. But it's tricky with mouse for sure. I find myself of course losing on time more than losing because of position, but it's certainly possible to play 1 min games even with the restrictions of mouses.

Diablo, Oblivion, I can think of a few ways to increase one's proffeciency with a mouse.  But 1 minute chess, I'd rather hit myself in the face repeatedly with a dip-stick.. 

go to home: settings: live chess settings: enable premove

this lets you make many moves in advance each move takes 0.1 seconds

...and what of the caged mouse? Unable to free itself from the restrictions of a life disintegrating in one minute....

A lot of people either use premove or hold a piece over the intended square and only do something else if their opponent does something unexpected.

People...a lot of people...holding a piece of their lives over the unintended beaches of romance and suffering...in one minute chess...

Hmm, really?  I wonder if your mouse sensativity is very low.  Do you have to move the mouse several inches to move a pawn?

When I grip the mouse from the sides with my thumb and pinky at about a 150 degree angle, when I extend them to 180 degree a piece can move from the 1st to the 8th rank.  There is no move that takes more than a small fraction of a second.  When you can do this it's not hard to move, and then immediately pre-move before your opponent responds (although it's not always good to pre-move so fast, it's possible).

When in the mood to play offensively bad chess (and my opponent is too) we can play the first 8 moves with only 1-2 seconds coming off the clock.  And in the end when you're just throwing in checks and mindless threats the moves can be equally fast.

I admit, such a game can hardly be called chess (but can be a lot of fun!).  Anyway maybe look at your mouse sensitivity... or maybe get a little more pumped up before a bullet game.  .5 seconds... I mean look at a clock and see how many times you can wiggle a finger back and forth in 1 second... it should be more than 2 times.

Ah-hah!  Well I happened to have wasted many years on yahoo chess (3 years when I first began to play chess) and there is a way to mimic pre-moves on that site.  When you only have a few seconds left, while it is their turn, choose a short move (like a pawn or king move) and frantically try to make that move over and over... if you like, you can imagine your mouse is sandpaper and you're trying to set a world record for rubbing the paint off a wooden mouse pad   So right when they move, before you can even see it, you'll have put your move into the server.

What's interesting is that on yahoo chess there seems to be a time-out check that takes a fraction of  second.  I've never cheated on yahoo chess, but moving this fast my clock has often gone from 0:00 to 0:0/  and stayed there are long as I move "instantly."

Warp 7. Warp 7. We have bullet. We have bullet.

Be coached by me...I am booked solid till Feb, 2016. Sorry.

Mouse speed is all in the mind. Visualise your mouse moving faster and it will. : )

Use The Force Luke .....

I make my mouse exercise every day, so when I'm ready for fast chess, he's ready, too.

Also you can try pumping it with performance enhancing steroids... But Uuuh
I hear sometimes they randomly test for that... So i would watch out.
