I disagree in doing more puzzles would improve your bullet. OP is a solid player and has a respectable puzzle ratings.

I even have a respectable puzzles rating and suck at bullet. It’s just a different game layers away from classical chess.

I have been told by strong players that they will prepare different openings in bullet that they would not in rapid or classical time controls.

Secondly, they’re mechanics and mouse employ a certain technique, that gives them speed and less mouse slips or when pre-moving.

I would caution on making bullet play your first priority over rapid. It will hurt your game very quickly and creep into your rapid games. Something I am still working back into now.

End of the day, I prefer to be a better rapid player over bullet although bullet is fun to play and so timely convenient.

play faster and create threats, one tip is sac pawns for counter play, any type of activity is good in bullet.

Players at like 2200 and above in Bullet can play real chess with mostly good moves from start to finish. I know this because I'm 2400 in Bullet. Play naturally in Chess in Bullet, not random moves aggressive and weird moves and you'll eventually get to 2000 in Bullet and beyond.

I looked at a couple of your recent 1-minute games and you move really poorly in bullet games like missing a very simple calculation of an I take, they take, then I am equal in material. Try to move normally like it's a long game, while still moving each move quickly and you'll get there.

 

I'm 2200-2300 USCF rated, and 2400 Bullet in Chess.com and I'm pretty sure I can play at least at the 1800 USCF rated level in Bullet. Try to do something similar to do this where you play Bullet like a long game, and where the moves in your Bullet games are similar to those of yours in a long game, but with maybe a slight rating decrease in comparison to your Bullet and Long games.

False, don't just sac pawns, create threats, play faster, and have any type of activity. You have to play normally like it's a long game to get good at Bullet. Just the only difference is that you move every move in like 1 or 2 seconds max. And maybe more if it's a very critical moment. High-rated bullet players play Bullet games like it's a game with a lot of time on the clock.

No, high-rated players in Bullet can think of good moves in like 1 second, and think of solutions to getting out of bad situations quickly. That kind of thinking is low-rated Bullet chess no offense to anybody.

that is actually the way that i got '' good'' at blitz i started thinkin of it like a long game . i didnt think it was possible for bullet but now that you say that i start to believe. mayde try some 30 second so then 1 minute looks like a long timetongue.png ? also thanks for checking last games though i was very tilted and angry . lost like 11 games in a row .

maybe batman's strategy is good for short term improvement but not beneficial for the long run. My idea is to improve bullet so that i get better at blitz time scrambles!

Move your mouse faster, and memorise more openings.
