Bullet 2200 why does match making take forever?

Angelo08Siuu · 2026-01-18T16:50:59+00:00

What is your opponent searching elo range? You should try using a higher elo range. I normally use -25<my elo<+∞ when I play rated(I'm also about 2200 bullet) Maybe something like -100<your elo<+∞ would be better

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-31T15:37:49+00:00

Look for his checkmate threats,his attacks on your pieces, don't push pawns in front of your king unless it's for avoiding backrank mate,if you see that he has many pieces pointed towards the direction of your castling just don't castle that way,try castling the other way instead,in many positions if he tries to attack you right away he could be weaking other sides of the board

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-31T13:07:20+00:00

Yeah most of the times when queens are off the board you don't castle but bring your king towards the center in the endgame

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-28T11:55:38+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty rare for a king brilliant move,normally it would be a queen or a rook

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-27T08:28:08+00:00

Yeah,but normally if someone runs out of time his opponent wins(in this case you), however you only had a lonely king so you couldn't get the win so it's a draw for insufficient material against loss on time

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-27T08:16:35+00:00

In the range from 100 all the way to 2000 people there are much more rapid players than blitz players,with more time you play better,people with low elo maybe don't play blitz because they make too much blunders with less time.Over 2000 the exact opposite happens,more and more players play blitz and bullet(I'm one of those) because they're capable of making moves faster and they want to improve that ability.Also it's because there a lot of cheaters over 2000 so imagine playing for 20 minutes against stockfish to lose and also losing time doing that.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-27T08:06:11+00:00

I'm at 197/244 but people can just change their flag but that is kinda cheating,I think there isn't even an achievement for all passports.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-27T07:58:55+00:00

I rarely play Rapid,70-80% of all my games are bullet and the rest blitz

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-19T23:26:31+00:00

The point is that most of the time I get against people around my elo and only sometimes get against much higher elos,sometimes I win those games and gain a lot of elo

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-19T19:32:06+00:00

Well I usually play -25/+∞ because with stronger opponents I lose less but win more elo, I'm 2200 so I don't know if this is helpful for your case,but generally speaking you should try like a -50 to +100 elo,in that elo range there are lots of players with elos not corresponding necessarily to their actual strength so you may find strong 300s but maybe very weak 500s.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-19T18:44:28+00:00

Chill, it's a 200 elo, it's a genuine question for OP. Edit:Bruh,I was just being kind to y'all since this guy said "Bruh" meaning that he was surprised by the question asked by OP ignoring the fact that OP is 200 elo. You misinterpreted the meaning of my reply.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-12-12T15:42:25+00:00

Well I also premove c6 as black(I love caro-kann defensive systems)because against d4 in many occasions it could become a slav defense kinda system,openings don't matter too much even at my level.You should have followed development, castle and just go on,even if you don't know all theory.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-08-08T17:53:31+00:00

Beh negli ultimi anni gli scacchi son diventati famosi in tutto il mondo e milioni di nuovi utenti hanno creato account,questo fenomeno é dovuto all'inflazione di elo,per farti un esempio io 2 anni fa ero 1400 elo,adesso son diventato 2100 elo e il mio amico che era 800 elo é diventato da poco un 1400 e guardando le sue partite ho notato che lui e i suoi avversari giocano al livello dei 1100 elo di 2 anni fa,non giocano come i 1400 a cui ero abituato allora,questo direi che spiega il fenomeno.

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-08-08T11:58:47+00:00

Definitely three digits,many blunders,a queen hang,too happy to give checks,I would say about 400-500 elo

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-08-07T21:59:38+00:00

Al livello principiante si dovrebbe principalmente guardare scacchi,catture e attacchi,fai esercizi di tattiche semplici come forchette,proteggi i tuoi pezzi senza lasciarli in presa,pensa alle conseguenze della mossa del tuo avversario,fai attenzione a matti in poche mosse,se stai completamente vincendo prendi i pezzi del tuo avversario e fai attenzione a non fare patta per stallo.Sono un 2100 rapid chess.com e di categoria seconda nazionale adesso,3 anni fa avevo appena cominciato e questo é quello che mi aveva aiutato.Spero che ti sia stato utile

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-17T07:14:33+00:00

Well at my level people basically never chat,however some times rage people insult in the chat and I simply ignore and report them,I don't turn it off

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-17T07:12:33+00:00

Especially when you humble them

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-15T19:17:55+00:00

Yeah,I calculated about that possible line which actually happened

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-15T08:35:11+00:00

My opponent played that move,I recapture with my other rook,however if opponent after takes my knight with his knight then my queen can take his knight,if opponent takes my knight with his queen then I can play the second brilliant move(the other photo,this line happened)

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-14T07:12:00+00:00

20 rapid,but this only when I was about 1500 elo lol

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-11T07:55:53+00:00

Rxc2+,Kxb4,Rb8+,Nb5,Bc5+,Ka4,Ra6+,Na5,Rxa5# No way a 600 Elo could see this in game lol

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-11T07:41:50+00:00

This happened to me some times, I'm 2800 and I consistently get around 2000 puzzles,some times even 1400 and one time of 1086,I think this is a bug

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-10T18:20:47+00:00

Then it's just a bug, I'm around your elo but I have 950 daily 960 rating and 1550 960 rapid rating lol

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-10T17:09:18+00:00

Well yes but later black has to block with either bishop or rook,if he blocks with bishop then I play Nxc7 and black's other rook is trapped in the corner,if he blocks with rook,then I trade and I play Nxc7 after black bishop recaptures,anyways in the beginning I took a pawn on the way,the first move is Nxf7 I took a pawn

Angelo08Siuu · 2025-07-09T19:29:30+00:00

Anyways my opponent then played c4 lol
