Time cheating

I see from comments that people often accuse others of time cheating? How is that actually possible? Are they just bad losers or can time be fixed?

Thought so, thanks. Reading people's comments there are a lot or sore losers out there in that case.

They travel back and forth in time to see how the opponent responds to different moves.

It's not sour grapes, it's people telling you specifically that you are taking advantage of your terrible connection and the way chess.com handles latency.

Yes rottentooth, that is definitely sour grapes. You had no pieces left!

One of these threads again...

I have a couple of games that lost just because of time. Material advantage is huge and a few, given 10 secs more, I could have won.

The system treats them as a lost without regard to the position.

Even so. A lost is a lost no matter what you do or say. Dont argue with the arbiter, I say. I just accept and play another game.

You are not cheating, you are just pathetic.

you obviously aren't very good at chess to begin with you should learn to win over the board and not on time coward

 i beat you easily enough, and mated you twice in three games. Don't use this forum to cry, please go to your mother for that.

i have a great connection and never lag rottentooth. please don't use this forum to cry, go to your mother for that!

[Public accusations not allowed -- MOD] cheats on time . I've played 3 min game and I saw his time increasing , not decreasing. This player is a cheater! !!!!!!!!!!

The site tracks the time used on each move and if you saw the time inrease on your end it was likely due to lag correction as baddogno posted.

he is simply put more of a coward than  a cheater

how do i close this forum? It has just become a forum for crying losers.

What did you think would happen when you created it?

Both clocks stopped the moment i won a piece - this has happened more than once and i then find that i have lost - game abandoned - hmmm
