Technically, this has nothing to do with the Right Hand Rule. That is just a human convention to assign a positive and negative signs to a particular direction. Electromagnetism doesn't care about our silly human notations.

I think the rationale in bullet chess is that playing strategically isn't going to help and you're in less danger of getting checkmated. From that point of view, you might as well prepare for the endgame, so the best way to do tha
