Yeah...I get about one minute to play safely on a 3 minute game. I notice it will even take several seconds to register when I win! I guess it's just a sign of the times. It's funny I beat 2000+ regularly in timed games on a live board but struggle to keep a 1500 on chess.com because of the lag. It really seemed to coincide with Magnus taking over and the platform going 100% for money and woke culture.
Why is chess.com so laggy?

Why?
I’ve been experiencing lags when play beta started. For example, in a 1 minute bullet game, I always lose. My opponent has about 30 seconds, and i have 0. It’s not like i’m moving slow. Why is this happening?
turn on hardware accelerator
idk if it's the data mining or excessive ad loading something
but when it's lagging the pieces moves like 1 frame or something
my cursor lags sometimes as well as the pieces
My rencent losses is because of lag
Incredible, does it go away if I pay?
With random 1-6 second latency, bullet becomes a very different game, have to bet all on mating within 30 moves to win
I located in Cyprus, so latency to Germany should be 50-100ms, right?
chess.com is garbage for bullet.
I can sometimes easly reach an elo of 1600 and lose 150 elo rating in matters of few laggy parties.
yes it does lag play 30 minute or longer game first as it seems it only lags at start, but I wish they would fix it

It's impossible to play actually, I don't know why I'm paying for this crappy service. I think it started when they switched to the NEW interface.
It is always my time that drops waiting for connection which is every game except against Akash5791 when connection went after 6 moves when we were equal never reconnected obviously I lost
Maybe others and I should change platforms.
It really is REMARKABLY laggy. It seems to coincide with Magnus' involvement. I suspect more resources are allocated to players with paid accounts and European players in order to encourage chess in European countries. It's pretty much unplayable at this point.
Sometimes i experience several seconds of lag, which makes bullet unplayable. Especially when you have 10 seconds left on the clock, and your opponent made the move 4 seconds ago, but the game doesnt show that, boo, I'm thinking about switching to lichess too

Do u guys mean the pieces are stuttery and the fps feels slow with "lag". I have no problems with internet but the pieces just feels so choppy.
Chess.com is so stupid laggy.Now I can't even play the game using any wifi nor sim card...

This is issue is so annoying that i have now almost completely shifted to lichess.com. I have used multiple browser and yet lagginess prevails. I have no problem iwth my internet.
Very laggy. Last year was ok. Laggy from time to time, but since the beginning of this year it lags more than 3 days in a row. I play about 100 games a day. I play bullet and I am watching my move not being updated on the board for 4 - 5 seconds after I did it. And it doesn't matter the device or connection. It s a server problem. Nobody can play like that. It s very annoying. I played a lot more on lichess nowadays but I am really upset, because I liked chess.com better. Hope this issue would be solved soon.
Thanks
I get 6 and even 12 seconds of lag in bullet
Have to rpemove like cracy to get over 30 moves, loosing 90& of lost games on time
