     After losing several live chess games yesterday against much higher rated
opponents in which I had 30-45 seconds left and they had 3-5 seconds left, I am
wondering is there anything I can do such as adjust my computer mouse or
pick up my speed?  In fact, I have lost dozens and dozens of live chess games
this way.  Do they know something I don't, I know premoves are legal but in
OTB I would win all these games.
     Why can't I premove as fast as them, this is a huge time gap that keeps
vanishing?

Yeah this has happened to me a lot too - my opponent will be on something lik <5 seconds, and i'll have about 20-30, and my counter just goes down, and their's doesn't for some reason.

Could be net connection, maybe? My net isn't too crash hot.

um.. in order to pre-move you actually have to move before your opponent..
