Lag

Sort:

Anybody else start experiencing a lot of lag in the past few weeks?  It's been frustrating, especially since I prefer 3/0 games.

Two questions: 

1.  Is lag worse for free users?  In other words, will something get optimized if I cough up some cash?  (Bitcoins?)

2.  Is it possible for opponents to cause lag?  In a recent game, my opponent gave away two pieces in the first few moves of the game.  TWO WHOLE PIECES.  Then, toward the end the game started to crawl.  My moves would take 5 seconds, 10 seconds.  Even my pre-moves took a few seconds off the clock.  I lost on time.

No idea, I haven't played any live games.
