So I was playing in a 1|0 KOTH tournament the other day and kept losing on time. I know I'm not the fastest player but I can usually go move for move with people. So when I lose to someone on time and they still have 30-40 seconds left it seems a bit shady. The game here is an example. In no way am I making accusations about the player at all but this guy makes 7 moves in 1 second to start the game off. I tried to do it and the most I could get was 3 tops. So how is this possible?

The first link is off chess.com and the second link is the real time screen recording I took from my google drive.

When you're on a desktop, you have the option to make a bunch of premoves at once. That's why he didn't take your bishop until after one move later.

My advice to fight that is to make captures that normally aren't expected (which you did right) and then remain material up. If you play deftly and concisely, you can finish these premovers off.

So basically he's just banking on winning on time? It's funny because we played again a few games after this one and I just threw out pieces like crazy and beat him fairly easy. I didn't know you could make that many premoves but I'm usually playing on my iPhone. Thanks for your time and the insightful input.

Hav ing a very frustrating problem lately when playing on chess.com. When moving a piece, instead of going to intended square, it RANDOMLY stops one square shy - ruining game completely. Don't know if its my laptop or site. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. I've been playing for years so its not me letting go of mouse early.

When I first started playing online, it was happening to me quite often. it ended up being my mouse itself. i took a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to the sensor and changed the battery. It hasn't happened since. I'm not sure which one did the trick but try to clean it or swap it out unless you're using the touchpad then i believe you're screwed.

Its a glitch I think, its happened to me where im able to keep making moves in advance before the other player even makes one. I did not enable anything to allow me to do it so im assuming its a glitch.

You should see this other game I recorded. the persons time on the first second of each move is giving like 3-4 seconds before the clock keeps going. I'll see if i can find it real quick and post it.

So check this out. it starts when he makes his move at 2:51. watch how long the first second of each turn lasts. Don't pay attention to my game play cuz it was rather miserable but i was focusing on the clock. at least that's what i'm going with.
