How to win against 2400s and Titled players as black

I didn't study those game so much, but I'm not sure what's so instructive on winning on time in completely lost position (2400s game).
Absolutely nothing. Except maybe:
- Do not stop giving checks when your opponent is out of time
- Play enough games against high rated players, one of them will blunder someday so you can brag about it on the forums.
Also there is another method to be able to dispatch regularly people with >2400, a very convincing and universal, that is just to play at the same level. Sure it is some work (at least as much as they did to get to the level), but hey- would you, killer grob, like to be "quickly, easily and efficiently dispatched" by players with 2000? I guess not and therefore you have your rating of 2250 and the elite players have their.
And just a friendly advice as a part-time coach, if you just want to play in your spare time, no problem; but if you want to grow (not only in chess) then 30 sek games with h6/g5 won't take you far
I fail to understand why so many people overrate bullet chess games and the bullet chess ratings.

Bullet chess = casino, russian roulette, "chess" to me.

The person with the better game computer chess, and the least RSI troubles, and the most ugly premove moves, can win by chance, even totally lost positions.

What is the value of that ? Cheap entertainment, good for a laugh every now and then, but not good for chess training usually.

Try to produce some creative chess ideas in slower time control games and post that as instructive chess games.

uff, typo edit :

achja, have you ever seen strong bullet players but very weak in classical?
I agree with achja. I don't think bullet chess is waste of time, but it's not chess. It's just tactics, traps and really quick decision making, which I admire. On the other hand, top bullet players probably produce better games than me in classical time control, but that's not the point.
