White was never winning after the sacrifice 16. Nxb5, if I am looking at the correct game. White was, however, up on time.
It is possible that the connection drops or something unusual has happened. Even if your connection is good, the server may not be. I have seen, in my own games, my opponents' clocks "freezing" for a few turns. This is perfectly normal.
Sir: his bishop was pinned because his rook was unprotected. The game was a fait accompli on time at the very least. No. Despite your apologia it was intentional. As I've stated [removed] is a despicable cheater.
The bishop may be pinned in the final position, but Black is still a clear piece up until somehow the White king can get to the bishop. After moves like say, 42. Kc3 Rg6, Black prepares for 43...Bf5 which unpins the rook (Edit: Unpins the bishop*).
I doubt the opponent knows that his time is "frozen" at 10.2 seconds. I have played with others before in similar losses, even my friends, who noted that my time kept running on their side even though my screen appears to show otherwise.
But if you still believe that the player is unfair for some reason, you can write in to the admins.
I've examined the times given for each move, and added them up on my computer... have you?
There is no evidence that his time ever "froze" at 10.2 seconds. On the contrary, every move that he made consumed some time. Adding them all up, he should have had between 12 and 13 seconds remaining when you ran out of time... and the clock display reads 00:12, just as it should.
Your accusation is without evidence, and without merit.
A fellow named [removed]. Beating him badly at 5 minute blitz. Suddenly his clock sticks at 10.2 seconds (after the telltale momentary fading out of the clock). I keep moving he keeps moving but his clock stands firm as Gibraltar at 10.2 seconds. I could only watch my time advantage dribble to 0. I've seen this little trick before. Little petty lowlife [removed]. Many others like this Punk [removed].
