I saw a post in this forum by chess.com staff and checked my ping. If you dont know how to do it , I will tell you. In your chat box while playing a game, type /ping and it will show the pings of both players as in picture below.
My ping is constantly around 135-150 while for most other players it was 30ms to 75ms. This explains why I lose 90% games on time in bullet. Generally I lose about 10-15 secs due to my high ping.
I play 3 min chess mostly and in 3 min games the high ping does not affect my games so its ok . But I wish lower ping for 1 min games. Ping depends upon distance from server also, as I live in uttarakhand, India.
I am curious to know if others players are also frustrated by high pings.
My 3min rating (blitz) is 1700 while 1 min rating (bullet) is pathetic 1300 only.
