    • 2020 November 6, Leonard Barden, “Chess: Magnus Carlsen showcases his bullet skills with 11 straight wins”, in The Guardian:
      Firouzja’s surprise loss to Fedoseev this week was partly attributed to his preference for 1+0 bullet without the one second per move increment. And there are plenty who consider even 1+0 bullet too slow, and prefer to play hyperbullet, 30 seconds, or ultrabullet, 15 seconds for the entire game without increment.
