A time of 15/10 means that your opponent gains 10 seconds with every move they make. With only 6 moves including pre-moves the player would gain an extra minute. If their clock jumps up and down randomly it is due to lag.

Which would've meant that his green connection status was irrelevant in the determination of not only "my" time suddenly disappearing altogether, but his respectively increasing while my connection was a green light. Lag is very noticable indeed, but not the issue in this case I will add. Can anyone explain another aspect I may me missing?
Hello Mr desert, your not the only sufferer. My father experienced the same thing a few months ago. Makes me wonder how someone can actually hack the sytem...
Well, i just play one..[Name removed. Moderator] in 1 min matches, played him in about 5 matches, and he time hacked every single time. this is different than 15/10 matches....in 1min matches your time elapses..period. time hacking has happened to me mostly during 1 min matches and its quite disconcerting.

Hello, I recently, actually just had a game with a culprit. A time adding culprit. Yes as I was playing the game with this person, his time was down to 1:22 and then jumped back up to 2:08. Keep in mind we are playing a 15/10 game. This happened about three more times with less than a minute left. Then things really got crazy. MY time went from 6 min....to 25secs! I actually scrambled to keep up but my time just suddenly was killed! He won the game from adding and stealing time. Maybe increasing his ratio and depleting mine now that I think about it. How can I report this person please this is absolutely frustrating.
