It truly is baffling that anyone can write 224 pages on such a crappy chess topic. Nakamura could actually right a nice book on his best games, how to calculate better, improve, how he was taught as a child, etc....but he chooses bullet chess. He clearly needs some cash and is just trying to cash in on his internet bullet fame.  Angry

I prefer greyhounds.

well there is clearly skill in it, like penalty shoot outs compared to football proper.
hopefully there is more in this than in the lamentable Blitz Theory by Maxwell

A book certainly sounds like a strange medium for reaching out to bullet players. A DVD with lots of illustrative bullet games (played at a x5 speed, of course) sounds more appropriate.
