Just wondering if low level blitz (150-300) winning on time is reputable until I'm skilled enough to check mate or  does the Analyzed accuracy bear any weight here. Or just an excuse, lol. Thx for the opinions!!!

Flagging is a skill and no shame in winning. Bullet play is also mechanics and a technique, some of these guys can bust out such quick moves or pre-moves it’s ridiculous, even accurate ones as well.

I have recently focused on my bullet game in the last month and a half just to gain +425 ELO points. It is a different strategy that now has messed up my rapid play lol.

Lastly, nothing wrong with managing expectations when playing bullet. Expect less accurate play, mistakes, missed tactics, blunders and losing a minor piece early in the game isn’t crushing. Sometimes, even a solid defence can survive a win.

After reviewing my games, I do notice most of my wins are from flagging and material advantages vs blitz or rapid play > more wins by resignation and check mates.
