I think with bullet its like you go into scatterbrain mode you're not immediately looking for ways to win you're looking for moves that aren't immediately punishable if not at all to save time and stockfish is just sitting in the corner with a lit cigarette shaking its head
With good players, they can recognize patterns and find good attacking and defending moves. However, you do tend to play with lower accuracy. You can still get high accuracy though, if you are more experienced. Good vid! Keep it up
You'd be surprised about how well 1200's/1400's can do on tournaments, i have seen 1400's beat people over 1800 multiple times + without blundering a piece in one move, only making one to zero glaring mistakes
I feel that, when I was 1400 I beat a 1700 in an arena...but only because he resigned in a winning position. Maybe that's a good vid for the channel lol. But the gap from 1400 to 1700 is way smaller than say 700 to 1000 imo
Everyone says don’t play bullet, but bullet sped me up so I could handle 5 minute blitz games, although in both formats I still lose many games on time. Anyway, bullet (& blitz) also exposes a player to many different openings & patterns which can be a launching point for later thought & research as how to handle those. Sure one could read some thick opening book or take an expensive Chessable lifetime repertoire opening courses & learn more methodically but how fun is that? lol. Also I tend to learn better from experience & mistakes than memorizing abstract lines for positions I’ve never played in an actual game. Finally, bullet.. like blitz… can improve one’s instinct. However, at some point longer games where time is a factor but enough so deep thought is possible is important to improving at chess. Good video. Your final mate was pretty. Ok.. you missed killer sac a couple of times… BUT now you learned to be more daring & in similar position next time, you’ll see the sac & maybe make it without any hesitation. So you did learn something! Cheers!
You didn’t really play awful tbh, you were winning the whole time anyways, definitely some missed opportunities though But if you really want to improve at chess, you should play in blitz with increment or a rapid format so that you have more time to consider possibilities and calculate

If this is the worst game then games will send you straight to heaven

@@Ebobster Bullet/blitz is really good for training move and calculation speed and pattern recognition
either bullet/blitz or 960 for me, preferably 960. Vanilla is so zzzz
@@EB-bl6cc 960 is fun! Im in a 960 daily tournament right now

@@thealphabetsong4585 agreed, rapid is probably the best time format to improve. I just need to get back into taking the game seriously
Sounds like a reason you shouldn't play bullet. Skill issue
so its about garbage and skill issues
correct, that's YOU shouldn't play Bullet, not me tq
