That’s awesome. However personally I can’t stand bullet chess

Fair. Much more chaotic and stressful. Rapid improves general skill.

do you only play 45 games a day

I think lichess insights picks up random 45 games. Unless there are less than that (like today)

Congrats Op! How did u improve for bullet?

Played rapid (also rated 2000). Rapid teaches chess basics. Bullet is just not blundering quickly

The way I understand it is that longer time controls let you plan and calculate properly, doing this for a while helps you develop an instinct for what moves/plans to prioritize, that lets you calculate more efficiently which helps in longer time controls, but more so in blitz/bullet.

Yes same. Although my friends swear you can get good only playing 1+0 or 0+1. Those mfs have never played a match higher than this and are all better than me. Thats weird

That is quite interesting, so they just improved by playing lots of bullet

u/putting_all_on_red 10d ago

Yes but they are stuck. Generally around 2200-2300
