Bullet is for fun, not for learning.

Bullet games are pure memorization. For the first 10 seconds, try to develop your openings quickly.
They are good for hand-eye coordination, quick thinking, and overall board awareness.
Quickly capture opponent's pieces; as long as you make fewer blunders than your opponent.
I have won some games simply because my opponent took too much time to make a move !

You are probably right

hmmm... no such case when you are 1750... you are right about memorization, but still it's hard not to make blunders in such a time control.

Yeah i think that is one of my worst problems

"i'm about to quit playng bullet"

Then you won't be cool.

Can you take that risk? Can you really afford that?

That's right. Happy bullet time!

Yay, at least someone discovered that bullet is garbage chess you learn nothing from.

Now the other 98% of online chess players.

It helps with intuition

If you spend 5% of your time playing bullet, as in a healthy diet, that may potentially be true.

But it's certainly not true for 98% of online players who do nothing else. That's basically people trying to run while they can barely walk. It's ridiculous.
