Body: <p>I am a bullet player. I play mostly on lichess and a little on chess.com. My peak rating in bullet is 1869. I have been trying to reach 1900 but I am unable to. I am also good at blitz chess, with a rating of 2518. But being good at blitz doesn't help me to get good at bullet. So, can anyone give me some tips on how I can get good at bullet?</p>
  <p>I play 1+0, 1/2+0, 1/4+0 in bullet and 3+0 or 3+2 in blitz</p>

Comments.Text: Can you be a bit more specific about the time controls you play in bullet and blitz? For example, 1min and 45sec + 3sec are both bullet, but they are very different.

Comments.Text: I find it ridiculous that you are 2518 in 3+0 but can't get to 2000 in 1+0. If you really care about bullet so much, just queue for 2+0 games instead as that's basically the time control you're used to anyway.

Comments.Text: With things like 1/4+0 it might be that your mouse speed is just not fast enough (I know my is certainly not.) Do you feel like you are losing on time most of those games? What would your rating be if you played just 1+0?

Comments.Text: @Akavall In 1/2+0 and 1/4+0, I am losing more because of "dirty players". For eg. 1.b3 e5 2. Bb2 Ba3 3. Nc3(I am playing white) and I am already down a bishop. And this happens only because of premoves
