It's easy to guess your low rated form that comment alone. Yeah nothing says "sharpening your mind" like flinging random premoves without any thought until you win on time

I will love to have fast mouse creating pattern skill

Fast mouse = pattern recognition, gotcha

It takes more skill than you think. I would consider it a variant based on the fact that over 50% of games do not end because of checkmate or resignation. Therefore the primary goal is to flag the opponent, which makes it a variant.

At a 2000+ level or maybe some point beyond that, you can't just premove aimlessly, or just play the checks that you see and otherwise premove aimlessly, and expect to win. You have to have ultrabullet strategy, tactical awareness, as well as a good reaction time and mouse accuracy. This is especially true in games with a 0.1 second increment.

It's not that degenerate, many people play other games that are purely reaction time and speed.

It's ironic that I once made this post. I love ultrabullet haha. I burn 2-3 hour chunks playing it every so often.
