I agree with you on the technical issues bit (as in it has happened to me too), but i think your taking this WAY to seriously; chess is basically a game to ppl below tournament strength... like you and especially me.
lousy lousy chess.com
Sort:
well its hours of my time which has got wasted so remember time is money and i can in fact sue them for those lost hours.
time will never end... :D
besides, if you couldn't connect after a few tries, why did you keep on going for HOURS????
I've had the same problems over and over again.... lost over 150 points! Thunder is right, life is to short to be jerked around like this.....and what do you mean Keep Calm? Chess is not just a game.... its life or death......going to vote with my feet.... anyone know abetter site?

then whose fault is it?

There must be dozens of network switches between you and chess.com. It could be any one of them or any of the companies that own them. It could also be any large amount of network traffic anywhere in between.
The bottom line is that the problem could be anywhere between the USA and India.
Actually there have been some problems. Staff responded in another thread and they've been tweaking some settings to try and fix it. No, I don't remember the thread and I didn't post in it so no idea how to find it.

Actually, it turns out that I can sue you for wasting my time with this thread.
Please respond with the name of your lawyer so I can get things rolling.

This.
Post # 3; Your entire life amounts to a waste of time. Who ya gonna sue for that? Post # 10; whose fault? its yours. Get a good computer, with a paying account, and Ad-Blocker. You won't have many technical issues then.

so, google is located in the US too. and so are dozens of other sites. I have no problems accessing google or other sites. it is obvious that you don't understand how the internet works.
half the people on this thread appear to be stooges of the chess.com website.
we all is.
