[Feature request] 15 seconds + 0 games. ¼+0 games.

Ohhhh I just assumed it wasn't there because it wasn't in the leaderboard! Nice job, lichess!!!
I got a cpl of 38.8 from 10 games^^

Also I'm missing the leaderboard. Would be nice to have, at least after now a lot of games have been played.
Great addition, but my bullet rating is displayed when I search for ultrabullet games in the lobby.
I'd like to recommend that Ultrabullet include 30s games.

Doesn't make a big difference to me, since I don't play those time controls, but I've noticed a lot of rating oscillation for players who routinely play a lot of both 30 second and 1 minute, with some players gaining a ton of points when they start playing 30 second, and losing it back in 1 minute, and vice versa.

That's a pretty good indication to me that they should be separate rating categories.

I'd suggest perhaps a threshold of <40 seconds estimated time, since that's what you'd get for 0+1, which is a lot more like traditional bullet than these super-fast battles of strategic premoving.

Cheers!
Sorry if this has been answered many times already but how is it *physically* possible (not to mention *mentally*) to play a coherent game with a 10-30 second + 0 time control?
The same way it's possible to find a witty answer within a fast conversation. It's much more difficult to argue in real life than in the Internet, or by letter. However, there are people who do it, and the best debates are from those who have been researching a topic thoroughly. Therefore, fast chess is a kind of abstraction or reflection of dialectics (argument) in real time.
That's a pseudo clever non-answer to my question. Maybe you could just answer it for me in a meaningful way, please.
Well, that's obvious now, why you do not understand the principle of fast chess. You cannot even post an appropriate answer to my argument. Since you disagree, prove it wrong. You didn't, you just posted your worthless opinion, without any facts, stating that my answer is "stupid". That obviously shows that for you the road to polite and cogent discussion is closed. As well, as the road to chess, too. So, please either change your way of speaking, or this conversation is over.
It's also obvious that your attitude is initially insulting and insolent. I didn't ever say that your question or your wondering is stupid. If you disagree, you can say it in a more polite way. Nobody appreciates rudeness. So, you might need to visit a psychologist, or better a psychiatrist. Change your attitude, rude human being.
Kindly explain to me "the principle of fast chess" that I apparently don't understand.
I didn't say that your answer was stupid.
Why is my opinion "worthless"?
The road to "polite and cogent discussion" is not closed although you appear to want it to be closed.
What's wrong with my "way of speaking"? I'm simply asking a straightforward question that you appear not to be able or willing to answer.
