I am genuinely embarrassed to be flagged by someone this slow. Chess.com shouldn't do the 0.1 second move tax imo. I'm the faster player so why should I be the one who flags?
This is like someones granddad beating me in a race
I lost a game I would have won on lichess

Premoveing 19 moves kinda goes insane, but at the same time you did lose significant time for some reason.

I lost time because I was thinking back when it was actually a chess game and not a game of premoving Bb5/Bc6 repeatedly
But if I'm able to make more moves in 1.9 seconds than he could make in 29 seconds then I think I should be the winner

Also this was more like 60 premoves because it was dead drawn long before this. He just made pawn moves every now and then so the 50 move rule didn't happen
please play chess not pre-mouve.. its absurd for this site to accept multiple pre-move
you both had the same time,...short game time are important.
play with increment and you dont have any issues
go on lichess if you dont accept this site regulations

I mean I accept it's the rules but I don't really understand the logic for having 0.1 seconds wasted per move
maybe it try to simulate reality...

But the fact is that this is online. OTB doesn't have connection problems or mouseslips.
And I don't know about high level FIDE rules, but when I was playing OTB and we were on time scramble, we would always first click the clock just before we made the move to gain some time

In reality it takes way more than 0.1 seconds to make a move lol

Pressing the clock before making the move has always been a punishable rules violation, even back when analog clocks with no increment were used.

I looked at your game, you could’ve taken control over the Pawns if you move between your two pawns around moves 68 or 70

i hate time scrambles OTB for this reason
people always break this rule and i'm too focused on the game to call it out
In this position my opponent had 29 seconds left and I had 1.9 seconds left
I was able to premove 19 moves but because chess.com takes away 0.1 seconds for each move I flagged
My opponent was super slow and wasted 15 seconds making 19 moves. Because he was so slow, I would be able to flag him easily on lichess. But on chess.com I was the one who flagged because of the 0.1 second tax
Further proof that lichess >>>>> chess.com
