Please analyze if you will: https://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=1464739124

I honestly don’t get how the time changes in this game.

My opponent said “it just happens that way” At the conclusion after I stopped playing he said I should have moved faster in this 15 minute game. I had enough time so that i could have left the room and he would have lost.

In order time wise:

0:52 vs. 4:46 (me)

Then..

0: 13.4 vs. 1:53 (me)

then it changed to:

0:28 vs 0:25 (me)

I stopped moving at this point and naturally...

I lost on time…

No doubt there's a simple explanation for a strange event.

What has happened to Chess.com? Blitz games have become unplayable because of Lag. It's nothing to do with my connection and it never used to be like this. Such a shame...:("

Is www.chess.com doing anything to defeat the use of these tools by players?

It is pretty annoying to see it become more widespread.

And if one determines an opponent is using such a thing, how is it possible to bring that to the attention of a moderator?

I like to play 30 minute games and went to 15/10 in hopes of avoiding log machines and frozen pieces. It does not work. The use of them is growing...

Let's see. Did I pay a fee to join this site? LOL

Log machines? Last week you introduced us to the idea of "lag machines" for the first time, although you had no evidence, not even circumstantial evidence, to support their existence.

Paladin, if those old Westerns you like taught you anything, you should have learned that you don't hang a man on circumstantial evidence.

// PS We are all sorry that you have a bad connection. If your connection is bad enough, you may want to consider upgrading it.

Did you run any ping and traceroute tests in order to understand all the hops that your signal has to take to reach chess.com? These are real "lag detection" machines.

Yeah it is all just fiction... I say just a simple fair game.

Lag that bad is symptomatic of a broken connection. Have you read this article?
