I just recently started playing 1 min bullet games on the chess.com android app, and I have gone up against two opponents who somehow rigged the clock when I was way up on time. They let the clock run down and all of a sudden they magically win on time. This never happens when I play my normal 10 minute games. How do I stop this from happening?

, I have 4G plan and it does it to me as well I think it's because I don't pay for the app .people who pay for the app getting an advantage it keeps me every time on tournament games in my phone and internet service are fine

it's no fun playing tournament games when they're rigged.. seems I' really playing against the clock than the opponent because the clock always screws me

I have never had a problem with 10 minute games. I just recently picked up 1 min bullet on the app and have lost on time when I was actually way ahead on time.

@umfgambit06 and @dwporter7

first of all, you should NEVER play bullet on your phone, its way too slow.

secondly stop ridiculying yourself and critisizing the site, of course its not that you have to pay. Ridiculous, you two are both lagging or your opponent is premoving as easy as that.

their opponent can't "win" time by premoving, only lag allows that. Premove just takes 0.1 second off your clock.

That is quite sad that people don't know about premoving.

I sometimes play with severe lag and experience the same issues as you, even in longer time control games. This effect can sometimes cause as much as a minute and more of "vanishing time".

Actually its great Its easy to win games when opponents are not premoving in the endgame.
