Premoves and Time

Hello guys, i have a question, my bullet time rating is totally broken, while the enemies premoves really take like 0,1 second, for me its always nearly a second. Thats hilarious, i played bad in bullet, thats absolutely true, but how i loose on time even having many seconds more and premoving the entire time is incredible. What do i have to do to get a faster experience, thats unplayable.

Best regards!

Premoves take at least 0.1 second but can take longer if you have a lot of lag.

@Martin_Stahl But how can I loose on time, while having more left, than the opponent? Maybe you can explain me that?

I checked the last game for example. He had 0,00,5 left. Out of 3 minutes. I had 0,01,1 left and lost on time? How does it work? If a premove costs 0,1 that means we both have no time for a move left. But because it's my turn I'm loosing? That would actually mean, you have to be just precise around the last 0,1 second. That leads to much more questionable stuff, I found threads on that before. You could literally move and have 0,00000000000000001 left, hypothetically, and your opponent with 0,099999999999 would loose on time, because of the calculation instead of letting the time run out completely. My only explanation is, that this is based on the problem of translation and minimum requirement for premoves, but maybe you know more? Best regards!

The site has changed things a few times but I believe the archive games show the time snapshot as of your last received move. So either your last move wasn't made before your time ran out, the server didn't receive the move in time, or you were disconnected from the live server for some of that time.

Also, as mentioned, premoves take at least 0.1 seconds and could take longer if you're having a lot of lag.
