@TigerLilov Here's my opinion on UB. It's a bad thing, especially when you want to improve your skills. But, when you're all up to having fun and not improving your skills, bullet and ultra-bullet are the modes where people would like to play their chess games. They just want to have the fun, and not improve their skills. Sure, you can ban the UB, but still if you just don't wanna have a lot of fun and you really want to improve your skills, then you can go for slower time controls. After all, slow and steady wins the race. Why even bother talking about this issue, when you can just stop playing it yourself?
Funnily he doesn't stop himself. I can't help but say that this makes it hypocritical
Who Cares of ultra bullet rating ? Its not chess just a kind a mouse speed game
two comments: sour grapes thread,
and
There was an interesting recent blog stating that fast time controls reveal your internal biases and weak points in your chess play. Analysing your fast time control games can reveal what concepts you have internalized and what you still have to think about explicitly to play right. So fast time control games can be quite useful. (maybe ultra is a bit too fast for this idea to apply, or maybe not?) Might depend on your level and your general ability in faster formats. Maybe helpful to analyse your bullet games if you want to play better rapid? etc.

yeah ultra is too fast. But if you play effective moves in 1+0, it means you're good at chess.
@TigerLilov
I will defeat you easily on ultra crazy house bullet.

What an odd thing to say. Chess is an inherently frivolous activity. We are all whiling away our finite time before the grave. It's all a waste of time. There is no point to any of it, do it if you like it, don't if you don't.
