Joing the bullet chess campaign. We are advertising chess and defeating one of its stigmas - "... chess is a long game ... who has the time for it ...". Create a video of of you playing online bullet chess and post it to every social media account you can. If you like, it can be a video of other people playing bullet. Lets flood social media with videos of bullet chess to get chess and online chess extremely well advertised to the masses.
FPS (First person shooter) video games are very popular they are fast paced: you can have a strategy or just run and gun. Well I believe bullet chess is the same way. Most people (my guess is 90+%) have no idea that chess can be played fast at blitz speeds much less bullet speeds. Thus, we can use bullet chess to open peoples eyes and get them interested in chess at any speed. In the physical chess club I run (at one time in a market and now in an ice cream shop), people are astonished at bullet chess. Everytime we start playing bullet chess it attracts a crowd. We've put on public demonstrations of bullet chess at maker faires and such. It always attracts a crowd and increases the membership of the chess club.
The recording process is quite simple on Windows 10. Just following the steps below.
I posted mine on facebook. The link is here One of my bullet chess games.
If everybody playing online chess does this then we might reach the enitre contactable world population. If just 1/1000 of those people that have never played speed chess pick it up, then we could gain 7 million new chess players.
We all do this in the same week and people will get barraged with our advertisements of how fast and fun chess can be. This will put chess in a new perspective for bilions of people gaining us many new players. Such gains could lead to more/bigger tournaments and more money in tournaments giving chess professionals increased ability to make a living, thereby increasing the sport's ability to support even more chess professionals. Maybe one day an 2000 player could make a living.
