Oh wow. You are a flagging master.

don't you hate it when you're playing on iPad website and then the google chrome app stops and shows the "oh snap!" page forcing you to waste precious seconds to reload the page

Also when you're premoving you need to plan ahead, not in terms of strategy but in terms of not having a premove blocked lol

I play a lot on ipad, but as I said, I play using app whenever I do it on ipad, as there's way less lag and no inturrputions

Unexpected unprotected checks with the Queen, with 2 seconds left almost always guarantees a win.

The_economist9

Yeah I gotta agree with that one.
