hello,

1: lag exists

2: premoves exists

3: increments exists.

search up what they mean if u not understand

This site compensates for lag. Manipulating it will not help you, as it can on FICS, where many use a lag switch to get extra time. Premoves and increments are wholly legitimate.

if time.cheaters are around , regular players seem to leave. there are times, where is more concentration of them ......#time of opponent jumps back from 38 to 50 sec. for example. ......#your time jumps down from 17 to 7 sec. for example. ...yes it happens, this just an hour ago .. use sreen.grabber for documentation, if you like. it happens .. but for me it,s ok. it can make feel uncomfortable and people leave for other app (perhaps there same) gg and nice day

Time changes are due to lag and lag compensation or disconnects.

Experienced time cheating today. It does exist & leaves one frustrated.

Clock issues are lag, lag compensation, or disconnects. The server keeps the official times (the client code is not trusted) and it would take hacking or exploiting the live server code and that's not happening.

I have the issue when my opponent is down to 9 seconds and they end up with 15 seconds. I thought that it was only a 2 second increment. It looks like I can win on time but they still win? Go figure

A lot of your recent games have been 3|2. In that case, 2 seconds are added to a player's clock after each of there moves. So it's possible for the time to increase, especially with premoves.

I experienced some lag two days ago. Cause unknown. Wasn’t my opponent. That’s what keeps threads like this alive.
