I'm not familiar with other books about Scotch.
Alright buddy! Thanks a lot

Bad mouse or bad internet? Why would your blitz be 600 points off of bullet? That's unusual for your age. I'll probably waste a lot of time now figuring out why you can play blitz and not bullet... rip me. @Finnessed

I only wasted 12 minutes of my life. I'm done with this thread.

I am almost winning in bullet but loose because of time
, probable because I play 1+0 ?

IDON’T KNOOOWWW MANNN! sometimes I feel I am not made for chess :/

Seriously? Do you really think that being unable to "play" fast enough for 1+0 has anything to do with chess skills?

Definitely , what else can I do?! I feel really bad when I loose in bullet, maybe I know the reason- since I play death time control , ppl usually leave their pieces hanging basically that leads me thinking about either taking or not respective my time running makes my time runs. Where as this is not the case of blitz or rapid and classical,which leads me think much deeper and my time doesn’t runs out unlike in bullet.

I recommend two openings with these variations:

• Italian Game: Classical Variation
• Petrov's Defense: Classical Attack

Hmm-hmmm...Thank youuuu!

I almost exclusively play gambits as white.

different move orders below:

Italian gambit

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
4. d4

Weird move order scotch gambit
1.e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6
4.d4

Von popiel gambit

1. e4 d5
2. d4 dxe4
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5

Morphy gambit against philidor (I made up this opening and chess.com says it is morphy gambit and idk why):
1.e4 e5
2. Nf3 d6
3.d4 exd4
4. Bc4

Smith morra gambit against sicilian:

1. e4 c5
2. d4 cxd4
3. c3 dxc3
4. Nxc3

Only non gambit opening - caro kann exchange variation

1. e4 c6
2. d4 d5
3. exd5 cxd5
4. Bd3 Nc6
5. c3 Nf6
6. h3
   Here I try to play against the light squared bishop. i do understand that i will play dearly for making so many pawn moves in the opening if black plays e5 and just opens up the position. but i dont get that very often. They typically continue with the lackluster 6...e6. Then i just castle and attack their kingside. I try to stop the minority attack with a4.

Against anything else: put c, d and e pawns in the center if i can. develop the knights to natural square and play along the flow of the game.

As black
against 1.e4

1. e4 c6
2. d4 d5

Against 1. d4

1. d4 c5

Here in the mainline positions i try to get a passed pawn on the queenside and try to win with it. however my opponent's play in the center is often too strong and i just lose. when they accept the benoni gambit, if all goes well, i just win most of the time.

Against anything else:
I go by either developing the kingside knight on the first move or put 2 pawns in the center. just against polish opening i just copycat them.

What am i? A positional player or a tactical player?

Umm..according to the opening you prescribed about how you most of the play d4 and sac the pawn like a gambit or something..
I think you are tactical player....if i am not wrong,...
