I completely disagree I have timed my games with a physical clock there is something wrong with the chess.com clock. It random but it is wrong!

You can't measure the lag between you and the site or small disconnects from the live server that also use time from your clock, if they are more than the allowed lag.

many times in my 5-minute games, my time gets eaten up while my opponent's clock doesn't run. And when it does, i'm already way , way down on my time by 10 seconds. and also. there were several times when i was way ahead with my time advantage, then miracle of miracles, my time runs out all of a sudden and i lose. connectivity issue, huh?
