Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
hyperbullet (uncountable)
- (chess, Internet) Chess played at an extremely fast time control, with each side getting 30 seconds to make their moves.
- 2020 October 1, Aaron Alford, “Cloud9 signs grandmaster chess player Penguingm1”, in Dot Esports[1]:
- At the tender age of 20, Penguingm1 is already one of the best hyperbullet and ultrabullet chess players in the world.
- 2020 November 6, Leonard Barden, “Chess: Magnus Carlsen showcases his bullet skills with 11 straight wins”, in The Guardian[2]:
- 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.
