Bullet?

I see many people are playing bullet, I never understood the appeal. I can understand blitz, but bullet? No way. Who can enjoy chess in one minute or so? There is not any time for thinking. Just moving mouse to make moves would take half a minute.

Elucidate, please?
In this mode difficult to cheat. It's virtually impossible.
it's just for split second decisions. whoever is the better split second decision maker wins. whoever has better quick pattern recognition wins, as long as they move quickly. its showing a different kind of skill than a normal timed game
However in short doses, bullet can keep the mind sharp. The ability to quickly spot hanging pieces, tactics, and make plans quickly helps improve chess intuition and keeps you sharp.

But small doses...

Beware, in large doses, bullet is addictive and detrimental to your chess health.
Blitz and bullet are dumb. And I'm not saying that just because I suck at them :D
