Key areas to improve in bullet practice
Time management: in bullet, quick initial checks help. Try a fast first-pass scan of candidate moves and threats within the first few seconds of each move, then deepen only on critical moments.
Opening decisions: adopt a small, reliable repertoire for very short time controls to avoid getting tangled in early complexity.
Sustain the attack: if your opponent defends well, have a plan B ready—focus on simplifying when you’re ahead or transitioning to a tactical motif that keeps the pressure.
Endgame readiness: many bullets end in simplified positions; practice common rook and pawn endgames to convert advantages confidently.
