During time scrambles keep pieces close to your king, so you don't get checked all over the place. Also don't leave pieces out in the open and watch out for night and bishop moves that attack your queen on the next move (even if they can normally be taken). This way you can premove without losing material.
33) I would give a little bit more of value to knights than bishops for their inherent ability to be more tricky and harder to calculate.
Hi guys! I'm what you call an ultrabullet "expert".
Tips --
34) In ending situations, bishops and knights are about equal - bishops are easier to premove, but knights are harder to premove AGAINST.
35) Make sure to go for the most attacking style! They castle queenside? Don't castle and go for the king with a pawnstorm. Kingside? Same thing. I especially like the H-pawn and the A-Pawn for attacking.
36) Initiative is important! When in doubt, attack their king.
37) Get your pawns blocked, sac your pieces, and rush your king in front of a rook or knight pawn when down in material in an ending - stalemates abound!
Hopefully this helped! I'll be posting some more later.
