Bullet is not everyone‘s taste; for example I don’t play at all, so inviting me every time is futile. Some prefer to remain anonymous as well.
Maybe Naka has some treaties with CC? Just an educated guess.
Not everyone likes bullet since it reflects chess talent, some folks have it and some folks don't. Guess who playn't? JMO
I don’t like pokering with premoves. I prefer to play chess, maybe some other guys as well.
Wasn't refering about us, but rather the other top 10 guys. Also it isn't all about premoving Magnus get's an amazingly low ctpwn loss in bullet.
Yeah, the Top10 seed probably refrains from playing bull(sh)it like
#15 this is just game. Some like it some don't.
Btw Caruana was playing some TA before also.
lichess.org/@/Bombegranate/tournaments/recentBullet does need skill, and it is heavily based on pattern recognition. By the way CM Cargon, in most of his games Magnus probably has less blunders and innacuracies than you do in your blitz and rapid games.
@Sarg0n you always post the same example, there are others where Magnus wins a technically challenging position with 20 secs on clock against 30 secs starting with material inferiority against GM oposition. I wouldn't mind seeing other top 10 players doing that!
This all is very reasonable, but then lichess seem to lack of tournaments which can became world #1 online competition.
Maybe this bullet filter can be changed a bit to allow blitz players to participate? Like in formula 1 current qualification, 3 stages where top players from previous stages pass in next. And time control became slower each stage.
With idea of final games between just few players in classical mode (not 2h, of course, but some sort of 15min).
@hal9k it will always stay at 1 minute. If it's not broken, there is no need to fix it.
