Ultrabullet tips

Many people have trouble playing ultrabullet so I thought about making this

1. Premove ONLY if your pieces are not hanging (but please man this is ultrabullet)
2. Check the opponent as many times as you can to bring their time down without losing pieces
3. advance pawns to attack knights in beginning (a lot of people do not see this)
4. If your opponent blunders lot take advantage of it, find a checkmate
5. Find settle moves (moves that are usually unnoticed) quickly
5. DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN 1 SECOND THINKING FOR 1 MOVE
6. just practice:)

Hope this helps :)
Happy ultrabulleting!
No. 4 is like saying: Play better and win.

Not entirely helpful.

Didn't understand No. 5.
Settle moves are moves that look harmless at one glance but can actually pose a major threat to the opponent
@groshks Ok. Not sure if one can learn to find those quickly. In my experience they tend to occur when seemingly withdrawing from a threat, but quietly posing another. But either you see it immediately or you don't. Another one is, typically early in the game, when you bring your queen out on one side, but it's posing a threat on the other side, say by attacking an unprotected bishop, or by doubling an attack on a piece defended only once, or by setting up the discovery of such an attack the following move. But as I say, I'm not sure that one can get fast at these from any particular practice.
my first tip to improve at ultra bullet is stop playing ultra bullet
@Mahith1708 That's an interesting question, or raises one. Probably you're right for 90% of your practice. But you'd probably still need the 10% to get used to playing and moving that quickly. I'm not really interested in ultra, but I'm sure the best ultra players have plenty of non-ultra learning.
