Titled Arena Announcement

#5 If Bullet wasn't chess, the world champion wouldn't win at it too.
There is no official bullet tournament in the world
@Just960 , do you aware that > 90% of all chess games are online chess and bullet and blitz are the majority ( may be 90% of online chess).
If you are bad at bullet, play mario or tetris. It is ok.

Btw, here is my last bullet game today. I enjoy bullet cos I can chase my hobby without wasting a lot of time.
Bullet is chess, and I get mad every time people say it isn't chess. You have to be good at chess to be good at bullet, as bullet is 90% tactics. However, one could argue that ultrabullet isn't chess, and I could agree with that, as u-bullet is mostly mousespeed, and you could have the best aim in the world, while giving all your pieces away and flagging your opponent. I play a lot of bullet, because, as drmrboss rightfully said, I can chase my passion for chess without wasting too much time. However, I like to play rapid as well when I need to calm down a bit before a tournament.
#14 Ultrabullet is also chess. Given the fastest mousespeed, mouseskill, and connection in the world, it would still be difficult to beat Sergei Zhigalko.
If you can win without knowing anything about chess, then it becomes a different variant of chess. As long as a game uses the same chess pieces and they move the same way as a slow game, then it will always be chess.
Build something and let it stand 100 years or build it to last one second. They will both look the same, except one could be for general use and the other specific use.

As for the titled tournament, if someone has a FIDE number but no rating or title, can they still join ?
Will there ever be a FIDE Tournament for the players that have a FIDE number without a title (under 2200)?
