oh okay - yeah I was joking lol sorry
Premoving all the time is bad - you'll easily lose material.
Keeping control of the opponent's time is good - choose your strategy to survive when they're too short on time

Bullet is like a quiz lightning round. It does not matter if all your answers are correct, if you take longer than your opponent to answer the questions, you lose. Same in bullet. Time management is an essential part of the strategy, and flagging is a legitimate way to win.
Don't like it? Play longer time controls, it's that simple.

Any source I've ever seen the rules of chess explained they always say that the object of the game of chess is to checkmate the opponent. Not to act like a silly little child and move as fast as you can with nonsense moves. So you are not playing according to the rules, and in sports that is the very definition of immorality. Shame!

As long as it doesn't say in the rulebook that the object of the 100m dash is to checkmate your opponent, then I'd say yes, it's legitimate.

As long as it doesn't say in the rulebook that the object of the 100m dash is to checkmate your opponent, then I'd say yes, it's legitimate.
and yet a tiny percentage of chess games end in checkmate. odd.
