cheating in tournaments, I can prove this

Hi all, don't go into the tournament games because everyone cheats. How can I prove this allegation? Watch the clock at the top. It ticks down (time left in room) yet your opponents time stays at say 4:30 secs. That is until you get down to 20 seconds then amazingly everything works properly again. You can block this comment, you can block me from this site, I don't care. I am fed up with playing players of around 1100 like my last opponent and being cheated. I don't care that they win, I know I'm a better player BUT I have to sit through 5-10 mins of just watching knowing I am not losing because I am playing a good player but that I just get to sit and wait for some idiot to waste my time.

Gosh, you joined just two days ago.  Today was your first tournament and you timed out after only four moves.

That is upsetting but doesn't prove that anyone was cheating.  You may just have been having problems with a bad wifi connection. You should try playing over a wired connection. There are also live chess connection settings that may help. (In live chess settings)

 

At any rate, they don't allow discussions of cheating in the regular forum. They will probably lock this thread but you should bring your future concerns to the Cheating Forum.(It's a club.)

Get a better connection, stop whining and play more than 6 games

That happened to me today - twice.
I consider it a bad connection.
Players do not have to cheat to beat me.
