> how is blitz better than bullet? apparently its slowness would make it better than the diabolical bullet. However, do many people on Lichess TV want to watch 5+3 or 5+0? the most popular control time is 3+0 and 3+2, this blitz would be crazy in OTB, not online. the real OTB blitz cannot prevail online because people are online precisely to see other things. it's a gladiator show, people like these shows, bullet is violence on the chessboard, there are rarely draws, a lot of emotion for the spectator and less anxiety. in blitz, spectators wonder what their favorite will play, worry about time, each move... in bullet you watch monsters. so if an "angelic" generation doesn't want to see that, don't watch and don't judge a good part (majority) of the community that likes bullet. When you watch a horror film, it's to be scared, not to relax or educate yourself like you will watching a documentary. bullet is not chess but ONLINE chess, the audience of streamers and celebrities don't want to spend their whole lives in front of the TV, so bullet is a useful alternative. As for the positions that Pushwood is talking about, I tell you from my own experience that it is because there is no more confidence when you play bullet, you do not have to trust your opponent, how dare you so risky to leave an opportunity for victory by flagging? some like me don't care about the rating but want this kind of emotion. who will have time to press the draw button? It's not a child's fight, but an event where this kind of low blow is allowed, it's like wrestling. find out about the lefong and the traps, it's even worse
I was not judging bullet players, nor bullet spectators. It is fine that many people like horrors, but you should not show horrors on a TV screen in a shopping mall.
When speaking of low-quality bullet games, I mean what we usually see there on the screen, often the end of hyperbullet games. (Hyperbullet is also rated as bullet.) When the moves in itself (apart from the clock) do not make sense, it is low-quality from this point of view.
As far as I know, Magnus has not played there much, recently. What we see there with both players left on a few seconds might be a good spectacle or an attractive computer game (how to make most moves in a given time without spoiling the game), but has little to do with chess. So why should it be the prevailing default content on the Lichess TV? If people want to play bullet or watch it, why not, it is their choice.
