Fair Play Police and Cheating On Time

Avatar of NewStyle

I see a lot of complaints now over time and (lag) on forums.

I remember filing some complaints about my time being stolen by the other players clock 4 years ago, and this is still valid.

There must be a (fair play policy) to fix these lag issues.

In many cases I see my time dropping 5-10 seconds a move while I am playing instantly, the other player is (normally a S.O.B) and I have many examples - just look into my losses over time, they keep just delaying until claiming a fake win by time, given that I have 2 rooks against he has one bishop and one pawn on the second rank.

I highly suggest fixing this through the fair play policy, since we cannot fix the morals of such sick people, at least we can fix the fair play.

Best,

Your opponents can't impact your clock.

Clocks are influenced by lag and potentially disconnects between you and the server.

I am not telling that (somebody is hacking and changing my time).

Problem is the chess.com can't fix the real time issue of lags - the micro API chess.com is using have deficiency in lags, I noticed that 4 years ago and when I posted obvious examples, I got a blizzard of counter responses.

But to deal with it, I am suggesting a fair response, in cases of obvious winning positions like mathematically 7 points extra, or an obvious checkmate, chess.com can switch the fake win claimed by time into a better decision than penalizing the board owner who got lags.

The site decides on how to handle lag and it decided that only some lag would be compensated for. The article on clocks explains how the site handles it.

I never had troubles with lag I think but I sometimes get people who repeat asking for a draw a lot when they are losing.

Much more needed than these decisions. There are time killer SOBs who do nothing except spinning their king. The problem is they know that the other guy gets 5-10 seconds delays with no hope. I suffered King and 5 pawns vs King and 5 pawns with no pass through for both kings. They keep moving king on 16 squares on back rank. This is heinous and really sick.
They must be called (time cheaters)

If you log in from another locale you may suffer.

When I go to northeast US, I get no problems playing.

However when I work in Australia or Mideast, the majority of problems show up there, and only after 30-40 moves when the board is about to end, I get these delays.

Being lucky on your locale doesn't guarantee the fair play.
