bullet and blitz rating together

is it best for training to get each time control up 100 before continue? i mean like you do 1800 in bullet then stop play that until 1800 in blitz then stop play that until 1800 rapid?

i dont know if i want to play until 2000 bullet or 1900 blitz first. maybe it take a long time to get 1900 blitz? i got puzzles over 2000 and thats my highest rating

people say that playing bullet is not real chess but after playing lots of bullet i got easy up to 1700 in blitz and i use lots of similar opening to my bullet game in blitz so bullet games made me better at blitz

Just play what you like to play most.

For training, playing classical (maybe even with correspondence) is the best. You could play, let's say, 15 + 10 rapid, but even there you don't have enough time to think.

If getting better is what you want I strongly recommends no bullet. Blitz could be useful, but under a coach guidance, at strict conditions.

When you play lots of blitz and bullet you damage your ability to play chess. Overcoming the inevitable plateau will be much harder, because with blitz and bullet you are creating and reinforcing the exact habits you will need to remove later.

I personally find that rapid ratings are often inflated, meaning it is easier to get a high rapid rating than a high bullet or blitz rating. I would just focus on playing the time control you want to get best at.

Your blitz probably improved because you were harder to get flagged, not because it improved your chess. Keep playing bullet and see what it does to your blitz.
The truth is the only way to improve is to take time to think and learn from your games.
