The post that was quoted here has been removedI have a DGT board, and a mouse even beats that.
Not that there is too much of a delay between communication from the board to the PC (it is very quick!), but physically moving the pieces is slower than the mouse. Especially when you have to move your opponent's pieces as well. 😕

Bullet is so easy. Just move, move, move. If u calculate, you lose. If u start thinking long-term plans, you lose. If u see a good move, play it. Dont look for better ones. If u dont see a good move, play the move that appears to be least bad (a.k.a play the most natural looking move)
So...dont calculate, dont think, dont hesitate. Just MOVE!

Originally posted by GinoJI started playing bullet because I found on longer time controls, there were many people who acted like total jerks when they were losing (i.e. they stopped moving with nine minutes left on their clock). In bullet chess I never have to deal with people like that. And in bullet there is always the feeling that you're still in the game and you can still win it, or that a totally unsound sacrifice could work; plus, it's just cool when you mate your opponent in less than a minute. Just think about that 🙂.
It seems like one needs a special talent for this.
Blitz is fun but it really deteriorates my game.
Please post opinions.
