Maybe i dont understand how this work, but i always plays the 3/2 blitz mode, i was winning a game, with pieces and 30 sec of advantage, my opponent reach the 0:00 on his time several times but the game always continues, i know in this mode you have a time bonus but i was playing faster and my timer doesnt get time, i lose the game on time, my conexion isnt bad and this is not the first time this happens. i dont know, maybe is my fault but is really frustrating. 

I apologize if i dont explain the situation well but english isnt my native language, but when this type of things happen i really get annoyed.  

i just want to know if this is a normal thing.

If you look at the game in the archive you'll see they had time. It's possible the client wasn't updating correctly, if there were a lot of moves made quickly.

Timers are crazy. I have been notice, it is reset in the second opponent movement or deducted 5 or 6 ss when I just using 1 s.
