To Anyone Who Thinks That Bullet is Not Chess:

The game clipped below is not a subject for critical analysis, with my opponent using only 3:13 and similarly my using only 3:15. These are moves that are whipped out, and it is shoot from the hip. The game concluded with he having 0:29 sec, and me 0:31 sec.

A really brilliant game? No way. But trying to 'figure out' a quick plan on the spot, or an endgame puzzle in thirty or fifty seconds? Time to think? for sure. But at this speed, you have to cherry pick WHERE they occur, and fast otherwise. It is a game of attrition, tesing instinct, and intuition. At these speeds, feel and sense rule the day, and the one making the least mistakes often wins.
