How can a 1 minute game last for 3 minutes???

Yeah.  blitz and bullet games on chess.com always had a slower feel to me than when I used to play on other sites.  There is definitely lag between moves that's enough to notice drag the game out.

I grew quite tired of people here saying "Oh, maybe you read the time wrong", so to back up ol' StrategicPlay here, I went onto Live Chess, started a 1 min game as white, made my first move and started timing with my stopwatch as soon as I let go of the mouse button.  After I lost on time, and my opponent still had no more than 5 seconds to go, I quickly stopped timing.  The time reads - 2:32mins.

That was what happened with me too. 

I dont think it matters unless you have signed up for a tournament which was starting in 3 minutes.

lol.

LOL

You're right there, kyle.

SP the first move lags...For example,if you waited 20sec to make you first move the opponent does the same...it would be possible to be a 3 min game since 1+1=2 + delayed movement

Nope, never heard of him.

But I guess he doesn't play chess.

It's surely LAG

             It was played in  S..L..O...W....... M...O..T...I...O....N.......

You used 55 seconds of your time (since you had 5 seconds left) and your opponent used a full minute. So that's a minute 55 seconds. You also noted that you found an opponent 7 seconds later, which added up will be 2 minutes 2 seconds. Another thing about live chess is that the clock starts ticking after each player made their first move, so that takes up less than 5 seconds too.

So, I'm suspecting that your laptop time when you looked at it for the first time is 3:43:50+. So it would logical if the time at the end is 3:46:00+
