cheaters

I was clearly beating a player in the first 45 seconds of a 3 minute game and he let his time run down then all of a sudden my clock showed me as disconnected and I could not reconnect despite the fact that my WiFi signal was perfect. How is he doing that?

I'll go with Paul Lynde for the block!

people do cheat though. I mean for someone to get your IP address and kick you offline is a little extreme. nonetheless people do cheat. there's no way 1300s play 5 or 10 minute games and dont even make inaccuracies.

Look at 2019 July stats, only 0.02% are cheaters, 99.98% are not. If your mind is obessed with that 0.02% , you better need something in your life.

It happens in a certain situation where there is a break in the connection between you, your opponent, and the server. Not exactly sure how offhand.

I vaguely recollect, so I'm not sure, you move, and you see his clock running. He moves, and the server acknowleges his move, but you never get the results from the server, because the server packets keep timing out. You still have a one way connection to the server, so your connection never officially times out.

Yeah. Right.

O.2 percent cheat. Yuh huh.
