Day 4 : took a huge hit yesterday. I had to play on my phone for the most part and got flagged a lot in bullet games. Mostly in won postions but not all. I am studying the Evans gambit and today plan on exploring it a few. I am reserved to the fact without a fast connection I will never be able to play up to my potiental due to losing on time. With that being said I am gonna enjoy bullet , rathar than take it seriously and play tournaments mostly . I will still keep the rating updates here on the time limit I play. Today is bullet again.
Starting day rating : 1761
Day:5 I didn't play much yesterday at all due to some un foressen circumstances. I am gonna try more today as I would really like to familiarsize myself with tge evans gambit and also Danish. I am taking the time every night when watching my favorite tv show to do a puzzle or two during every commerical. Sometimes I'm rushed due to my show coming back on so I get them wrong. I always make sure , even though I do not get the points to make sure I get it correctly. I did'nyt post my rating today as I am only concerned about longer games and how well or badly I do in those. I have to come to realize that I shouldn't get upest being 5 queens up and losing on points on time.
Well I guess today i will bring my bullet rating to respectable standards ( by my own preference) . I actually played a couple of long games last night while watching TV and found it quite enjoyable. Nowadays there is so many commericals if you don't have Direct tv or Dish it's quite easy to play a standard game during commericals. The opponent thinks you're studying the position while the movie is on :)
Finally made my bullet back to my goal of 1950 - 2000 Rating 1952. Note to self for future refernce. The low rated players have somehow got stronger over night. Wow what a hassle . I would like to try for 2000 but I just don't think this PCs ping can move that fast. Maybe at a later date. Now I can go back to more enjoyable time controls without having to premove most of the time.
( Reti Opening as white seems to work very well in bullet for white, Paulsen and KID for black )
( Never get drunk and play all night only to realize the next day you have lost 300 pt and you have to retain them. Which can turn into a week or two with time to play being a factor)
300 pts recovered. Now I must get back to Blitz games and longer time controls before I have to buy a new mouse. I am very happy I made this blog so I can look back and see the ups and downs. Now this blog will turn into a Blitz blog and so forth and so on as I try to improve my chess .
Haven't posted here as much lately so figured I would update. Got mostly all the time controls/ variations that I play over 2000.

en.lichess.org/ef7JrtIF/black#0Not everyday you get to play a GM to a draw. Enjoy this Gem over the years .
en.lichess.org/npM7hfib/white#65The very next day a draw with Black vs IM William Pascal. Although it was a simul and I didn't make any mistakes and 3 inaccarcies makes me proud of this game. I was worried about deep hedgehog lines but was able to equalize and play for the draw.
