Dear Maciej,

from my perspective as a chess trainer I can say that you only improve your chess with longer games with increments. Flagging and tricking your opponents may be a nice skill for some good fun but, and this is proven, it will not make you a better chess player overall. You see your ratings of bullet is 200 points higher than blitz, this is totally unusual. It should be the other way around. And yes, we have quite a lot of players from Venezuela, a country which got destroyed from the outside as so many other countries all over the world. Our tournaments try to get the balance between fun and improvement without letting the weaker players loose every game. And you are free to berserk so that you have no increment and play without thinking just for fun. Players like Carlson or Nakamura, top of the world, play only without increment on the internet, in real life the always play with increment. They say it openly, the only reason is to trick the opponents in the last seconds and win 99.99% of their games. I left my chess club in the town because they never use increment and tricked the weaker ones even with a piece down, no fun at all.
