I am 1902 bullet and 1651 blitz on the playchess.com server, and I was wondering what is the best way to improve my bullet and blitz? I am doing 25 simple tactical problems each night, but I don't know if this is enough. Also, I'm not sure how I should do the tactics. Is quanity better than quality or vice-versa? And is doing these tactical problems the right way to go? Thanks!

Best slow OTB players are great blitz players.

Play slow games, 30 min timers of more.
my tip: play more blitz, solve more problems and practice simple tactics. and the most importantly, solve all problems fast.

Now tell me what the problem is?
You get 2 for 1. So what if it takes you longer, at least you become a good slow player and blitz player.
Everyone likes 2 for 1 specials.
Chicken and Fries, Burger and Fries, Fish and chips, etc....

Well my blitz seems to be improving. Hard to tell because I haven't been playing rated games.
I started playing here as well.
