Just reached my ultimate goal of 2800 in bullet chess. But, what's next? I am just over 1600 FIDE rated and I do not play constantly to improve, so I want some thoughts and opinions on that
Cool
bullet chess doesn't mean anything
i mean yeah bro, even i was 2500 in bullet, although me being a 1400 fide..
bullet isnt everything, i guess rapid or classical makes sense

AFAIK, FIDE doesn't rate bullet.
It would probably count as blitz if there were such tournaments; IIRC there is no lower limit for blitz in FIDE regulations.
But the very idea of playing bullet OTB feels quite crazy.

There is, the time limit must be more than 3 minutes per game, assuming a 60-move game. See handbook.fide.com/chapter/B02RBRegulations2024.

Agreed, it usually ends in pieces flying around. Personally I do not play anything faster than 3+2 OTB which has been FIDE's standard blitz time control for some 15+ years.

OK, thank you for the correction. Not that I would have any plans to play blitz in near future but good to know.

Cant agree with that. While it may be lots of speed too, why would I beat you 100 out of 100 times if its just bullet luck chess?
