Practice how you play. Practice feeling the pressure. Muscle memory. Consequences.
Consistency. Peak chess performance is winning 9 out of 10 bullet chess matches.
Very difficult. 7 out of 10 once a day is stellar. 3 in a row is great, but 3 in
a row twice, is nearly impossible..for the average chess expert. Free throws are
similar. Most anyone who hoops can probably hit 4 of 10.. pros are 9 out of 10 though..
so channel that steph curry..lebron james..shaq diesel flow..control the game..perform
at your peak once a day..but remember..these are just free throws..still gotta play
the whole game at your opponent speed..bullet chess practice is just free throws..
but free throws are important..free throws win a lot of games..if the game was just
free throws the whole time..it wouldn’t be as fun..it might have interesting moments..
but its really just a result of all the practice and muscle memory..so practice 
how you play..put yourself in a variety of emotional situations..turn the tides..
take control..run the clock..up the pressure..make your opponent miss a few..get
in their head..find the wins..earn them..with focused muscle memory..bullet chess
is just like shooting free throws..remember that–at practice..and in the game!
