Terrible lag inside 1 minute

Sort:

When I play Blitz I am able to move my pieces normally until my time gets inside a minute. When that occurs it seems I can hardly pick up and drag my pieces. Everything seems to go so slow at that point. Anyone else notice this?

I get that pieces freezing too. It happens 5-10% of the time in 1 minute or BULLET. And i tested with pre-moves where about 50% of the time I get lag in BULLET...so 5-6 pre-moves in opening chew up 5-6 seconds. Even if moving, my guess is 80-100 moves per second I can only get 45-50 moves in before flag falls. I honestly don't notice with Blitz since time is rarely a problem but it has happened once or twice. But bullet, I will have clearly winning positions in about 75% of my games and win only half of the games due to lag or freezing. Has little to do with clock...the trick is finding someone else with a worst lag so you can win. A bit frustrating since I tried different servers and wifi and ethernets...but they produce fairly similiar results although a real cable is slightly better than wifi. fics.com never has that problem...so I think better software on chess.com could overcome that issue.

Maybe quit the porn? Virtual stds from porn sites make computers slow

Lucky if I can make it through a single "tactic" these days.

the site is having a lot more problems with playing 1 min than when i joined. freezing pieces, etc. magnus described it as they were "stuck in mud".

"Stuck in mud" lol is a great description....the pieces do slow motion of everything...I get it like 10-20% of the time. Then you start playing 300 points below normal.
