What's the point of reaching 2800 in bullet...

it's bullet, you have to think fast, anyone can make mistake, even the stronger players, so don't worry, just learn the lesson and keep playing, that's the only way to get better
you probably intentionally play 1900s and stuff to gain a point or two at at a time

eric hansen would crush you 90-10
@ttony: right!

@Plawo: my link above shows how dangerous that method is, at least for me. playing opponents closer to my rating helped more, for example http://en.lichess.org/P8tp0Ps9CEPI (please pay no attention to the part when i lost four games in a row!).

my score against giraffepoacher (eric) is 5-11 at the moment, i think i can do a little better but probably not much.
erindreki, my games against you very quite dangerous for your rating, too. :-) If only I was faster in the 2nd game. :-P
Maybe play for fun and not for rating?
The only use I have about rating is if I am gonna berserk or not in a tournament. My own rating is of no interest.
How nice for you, tomost. For me, the rating system makes online chess more fun.
