Bullet Addicts Anonymous

You ever make a new account that is just gonna be for studying, maybe some longer games just to start playing bullet on it too, ever said "last game" thirty-seven games ago, held a small object overhead in your non-dominant hand to remind you that this really is your last game & then you'll stop or you have to keep holding it up?

Do you have a demon on your shoulder when you're doing some tactics saying "bro you've done like 20k puzzles and barely improved, just throw some pieces around & maybe if you see a smothered mate four moves away with three seconds on the clock you'll feel better!"?

Ever neglected family, school or work duties to play bullet for three hours just to feel dirty inside? Do you have a love/hate relationship with this game which is both the ultimate tool for focus & the ultimate vehicle for distraction?

Not in this sense, but i play bullet everyday just to train my tactical vision and speed skills. I know when to stop. When i played the entire marathon, it was the first time when i played bullet more than 6-7 hours.

> @CSKA_Moscou sure buddy I checked your account said you played bullet for 19 hours 35 minutes straight.

time between pairings was not in count. if you take into account that it sometimes takes 20 seconds between each game and that I still took an hour's break at the end, which is "only" 23 hours of tournament and 19h of true playing
@AnalyticalChess_Jr said in #6:
> still did you sleep for the 20 secs between pairing?

No. I wasn't asleep during something like 36h, marathon has began in night for me. And i also tried to ate something between games
Yes Yes Yes.I always start playing bullet and I say I will not play more than 3 games and I end up playing 30.(Or maybe more)
