live chess cheating
Sort:
I think it is a bug, because the amount of activity required to jump your time limit up 10 seconds every move would be noticed. Are you sure that the settings of the game did not simply have 10 seconds bonus time?
Hmm... sounds like a bug then. You should use the Report Bug function to report it, or talk to an admin.

I'll point out that when using IE, I found the game would end when I still had 4 seconds left. Or my opponent would claim to have say, 17 minutes and 58 seconds left and I would see 18 minutes and 1 second.
It could very well be lag inbetween your client's communication and the Live program. Basically, you're getting faulty information, and their time really isn't increasing by 10 seconds. Or it could be. Either way, there's a bug somewhere you need to report :P

we're working on sorting out these issues. we have an anti-lag measure. it could be that your opponent is 10 seconds of network time away. i'm happy to test this with you if you like.
I am agree this idea!

ok im sure that either there is a major bug or people are using programs that make their time INCREASE when playing live chess, and the time is set to 0 secs increase per move... eg twice i was playing 1 min time limit games when all of a sudden my opponents time starts increasing by about 10 seconds every move and mine wasn't!
has this happened to anyone else?
yea and im getting major lagYes it has happened to me! luckily I play for fun; it is hard to understand how there can be AH's that can do such a thing; Who are they kidding?! When you are in a tournament your artificial rating won't matter.

Yes sounds very familiar! it has happened to me many times!
yea and im getting major lag
this just happened to me- get these cheats out of this site. it is ruining it for everyone else
This isn't directly related to your topic but I try to play a few games of live standard on weekends when I have the time and my last 4 opponents, all different, used the same exact 8 moves for their opening. I doubt its cheating, but who knows. Doesn't anyone mix it up just for fun anymore? -.-
EDIT; Yes, ATM I am experiencing lag myself.
It's a bug not a case of people cheating. Chess.com does a good job dealing with these issues. I know that it doesn't happen fast enough for a lot of players but considering how many people are members of this site as well as the large number of people playing live chess, you have to cut chess.com some slack.
@MrKornKid --
That sort of thing happens a lot. It's probably not cheating. Just an opening becoming suddenly popular (often because of articles on the front page or a particularly good video by GM Khachiyan or Dzindzi or others :-).
