Why can I not improve?
One thing is sure my bullet 1/0 is horrible time management :(
Dan heisman said there are 5 importants things to study and to take care of :
- Security of your pieces
- Activity of your pieces
- thinking process
- time management
- knowing rules and principles

Your opening play is prob not ambitious enough to beat your peers consistently. My guess is that you win points vs lower rated and lose points vs same/higher rated? Am I right?

Your slow time control ratings all seem over 2000.
What are your goals exactly ?
You want to be a better chess player ?
Or you want to get better results ?
If you only want to get better bullet results, there's no real need to be a better chess player.
If all you want is to improve your bullet rating, then you might want to do the same as I did : Only play 2+1 games and not 1 0.
If you want to become a better chess player though, then with 2000+ ratings you might want to consider getting a few chess coach lessons.
And if you want to do it all by yourself, the book "Pump up your rating" by IM Alex Smith is a nice read to start with.
GL & HF !

I fear....I am scared if I commit to improving my bullet rating it may ruin my slow game by making me more impulsive. Making me chase my dopamine fix rather and making me miss critical positions. I am 58 years old.....maybe bullet chess eludes me at this stage and I should keep my studies to the slower game. After all Perfection is bliss, and I have seen excessive blunders on both sides in bullet chess. Michael Buaiz :)
bullet is crap in my opinion, it just takes away valuable studying time
You played only 155 bullet game here. @MichaelBuaiz as or karate master said, practice, practice, practice! :)
Don't study chess. if you study really hard, you might gain a handful of rating points.
that isn't worth the amount of time you would have to put it.
imagine me putting in 300 hours of study time to raise my blitz rating from 1924 to 2024. Ridiculous!

@FredtheCrusher, wrong. Even the best players play bullet for joy. Man, it's a game!
