The point of a short time control game is that you have to think of your moves quickly, which entails playing worse moves. If you use a lot of time to think of better moves, than you have to be punished by losing on time.
time control is stupid
Sort:
add increment or move quicker
It's a pretty strange thing to play mostly 30-second bullet and complain on losing on time.

sometimes it doesn't even matter if you're winning and more about if you have more time than your opponent
for example in bullet if you have more time than your opponent but you're losing you can just rapid fire premoves and checks, you'll probably win on time
i wanna ask for a mode where you get as much time as you need to think but that already exists for most people (classical) and if you literally had infinite time people would use that to stall
That's the point of playing with a clock isn't it?
Maybe spend less time getting 4 queens and learn how to mate with just 1 instead.

Poor time management

I get your point. But I suppose you just need to get better at playing under a time limit. Also,it’s possible to checkmate with just a queen and a king so maybe try to checkmate quicker as well.
I didn't actually mean 4 queens. The point is that if you're completely winning, your time left can still lose you the game.

This only applies to rapid and maybe maybe blitz
I'm not complaining about losing on time in bullet because that's kinda the whole point

What a pity that you choose to play a game with a time control that's too fast for you.
“I only play 30 second hyperbullet, but you see, it’s all the time control’s fault. Ignore the fact that you can change it.”
Maybe:
1) choose a slower time control
2) ditch the mate with 4 queens and learn the one with one queen
3) don’t play chess
4) deal with losing
5) don’t troll

It simple, do Vladimir Kramnik, report and block, if you cannot think of move, it obvious, not even Classical with 3 day to play would I think of move, so report for cheating because you should have vodka that game.

read gng
You get to choose how much time is on the clock when you queue up a game. You can't blame the number you chose without blaming yourself.
Hmm, never been up four queens, and still lost. Heck, I’ve never been up four queens period. Maybe that’s kind of the point.
