LOL, the site plainly manipulates the clocks. I've played 'newbies' in the 100's and my clock spins so fast I can't believe it. In the next game, against a more experienced plyer, it is normal again. The internet connectivity is the same in both games. But no big deal, I just use the faster clock as an opportunity to improve.
why does my clock run faster than my opponents' ?
Sort:
Must there be a black hole under your bedroom. That creates a time-space anomaly wich makes the time go slower. See the bright side: you'll live more years without getting old (as long as you stay near your bedroom).
Your opponent stopped drinking Johnny Walker.
Chess.com needs to address and fix this issue or it’s soon not worth playing here. Even if I move every time instantly I’m loosing 15 seconds per move and there’s no way I used that’s much time. Over the course of a game I’m loosing minutes and close matches on time even when ahead
You can see your opponents wifi speed and even if they have a slow connection to your fast connection the clock runs way faster for the better connections
Hear ye, members of this site. Tis true. There may be slight discrepancies with the clock.
I've spoken to the watch maker, and I was assured that the clocks do adjust themselves on account of any internet lag, but tis only by the negligible numbers.
Now hear me!
Tis possible, if one of the opponent's internet connection suddenly improves, that the adjustment may be thrown off balance and as a result grant extra time in some negligible way to either side.
LOLOLOLOL this thread has to be a joke
I used to think like that for a minute but then I would bury that idea cause it is absolute nonesense
People tend to not realize they are losing time by thinking
your clearly not paying attention. I can clearly see the clock skip 10-15 seconds
In all honesty its actually quite annoying when the time on chess.com is not actually the time you have left or what your opponent has left . The clock adjusts for latency / lag etc and therefore "jumps" , "freezez" etx to make up for this . That leads to many games where f.ex i see i have 5 secs and my opponent 5 secs left , but in reality i cant move even with premoves to win , because the server adjust the time and ita a big questionmark who has the lowest latency to win . Im not complaining just trying to make a point that its annoying a f :/
everyone’s clock runs slower than their opponents clock that is why life is so unfair
I use to have the same problem but then I got the vaccine and everything is fine.
Yes chess.com is trying to make you give up on chess because they know you would beat magnus carlsen so they're hacking your internet and stopping your computer from working creating a malfunctioning that makes you lose more games and make your rating constantly lower than what it would actually be. The FBI suspects that your massively high IQ would be really prejudicial to world population as it would have the capability of spreading new cientifical concepts kept by America that would disturb their control over the world, so they are trying to make you give up on intellectual activities such as chess so that you keep quiet. Anyway, you should probably make that public by getting influencers and really famous people to talk about it so you can spread truth and break the USA's government control over the world. Most of them would deny your help request (note that it would not be because of lack of interest, but because they are being paid to keep you as a secret). The only reason why they don't use brute force to control you is because of how scared they are of your intellectual powers to beat everyone with a slower chess clock that they think you might go full giga-brain on them and rip their hearts off like that girl from Elfen Lied. How I know that? Because I'm a ultra FBI russian GM chess spy that is here to help you. Good luck my friend, it is not only your impression that your clock is running faster but the whole world that is against you
I think it's just you taking longer to think.
But I recommend checking, in the analysis you can see how long you took per move compared to your opponent. If the time is the same, then that confirms my other suspicion-it's just the way your brain is subconsciously thinking.
I'm assuming since you're worried about this, it's bullet/blitz. In this case, it would make a lot of sense if your brain is like "I want them to time out! I want them to time out!" but when they don't, your brain is like, "They used up so little time! They used up so little time! UGH 
" The opposite happens to you: your brain wants you to be fast but you aren't, so it seems like you're taking longer.
But dumb answers aside, it could also be your internet connection. I haven't seen any of your games so I can't be sure.
Having the same exact issue.. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Honestly I think it’s some sort of cheat.
This is ridiculous
Someone asks a legitimate question and you make fun of him. That shows you don't have a clue. If you can't provide an answer at least don't flood here with stupid remarks. Clock runs faster sometimes or most of the time. I have recorded the screen and it's ridiculous. I can send it to you. And something it slips a few seconds after you move your piece.
I don't no why that happens, is it by design or internet lags or whatever.
Those of you that make fun for asking a question, please come down from your high horses and play as new user to see that.
I read in an other post that happens for newbies.
Any way you just discouraging a person to not mention his problem again.
i really thought most chess players are decent smart. reading all these comments are so childish answers. but the truth is the system has a kink in it. it tries to compensate for the countries with slower internet and ends up screwing the ones with faster internet by taking their time instead.
Trust me as someone who's had good/bad wifi it doesn't compensate much.
