I don't understand the time thing.

So I play the 10 minute games.  It's getting down to 2 minutes left on the clock and my opponent moves. Before I have a chance to move it says he won on time.  That has happened a couple of times.  I don't understand why the time ran out when it still showed 2 minutes.

Must be a bug.

This has happened to me several times.

Whoa. Definitely a bug. Did you send in a bug report?

Do you have a shaky connection?

You may have a bit of lag/connection issue.

The clock on your computer  is moving slower than real real time and the 8 minutes your screen shows is actually almost ten; so when the game/server re checks the time it updates yours and you lose all that time at once? or something like that.

Kind of like I stream a ball game and my buddy starts watching the same game at the same time, on 'cablevision' yet he finishes a few minutes in front of me over a couple of hours. My display doesn't freeze or skip, just moves a tiny bit slower, making a big difference at the end.

It happened to me again tonight. I guess lag time could explain it but it is annoying.  Its always when I am doing well, never when I am not doing well.

I don't think I do.  It's the end of the game and not many pieces left so I've planed what to play.  Oh well at least I know I probably would have won. happy.png

It means you run out of time in a winning/drawn position and your opponent purposely played on so you would run out of time.

Arwen2100

Time is a factor of the game. Otherwise you're asking for time odds, which doesn't make sense against someone with similar rating

It’s the only reason I lose 10 minute rapid games… 15|10 forever!
