30 sec games

@Calanthe haha i love how u guys ract to each other. Luckely i got my popcorn here. Kidding. I understand the people that saying. Bullet is not real chess, but for me its an other kind of real chess. U have to find tactics w/O thinking too much. You have to calculate with your guts. Its great, but only after a certain lvl. Im not yet there, but i love to watch highlvl bullet games, like hansen vs nakamura or AndrewTang vs Opperwezzen.

Here's perhaps my quickest checkmate (I think I did 11 moves in about 3 seconds).

It's a nonsense to say bullet is not chess. It's just a different sort of chess. Similarly, 20-20 is cricket, but it isn't a Test Match.

If bullet tournaments were televised, there'd be a massive audience.

Indeed, it is different. Looking at the end positions of your recent games your opponent was mostly material up, he had mates in 1 there or at least within a couple of moves and he overstepped always the time. This happens sometimes in other encounters as well but in bullet there's method in it. If you like it, ok.

Tarrasch stated as far back as 80 years ago: "Bullet, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy."

Never miss mate in one. Thats kinda bad. :)

Yeah, the Praeceptor Germaniae was well ahead of his time. :D :D :D

Honestly, I don't think televised bullet chess would gain a massive audience; chess is already too difficult to follow.

I think what would help with televised (or online broadcasted) chess would be poker-style winning odds above the clock.

@Toadofsky, They already have that. On chess24.com when watching a live game you can see odds under analysis. chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/sharjah-masters-2017/2/1/1
