dissapearing time

I have noticed on several occasions chunks of time being taken off when i blantantly havent used it. Has anyone experienced the same and why does it happen? (im not a sore loser this is genuine) 

Yes. It's happened a lot to me recently. I dropped over 100 points from my bullet rating from my clock draining away.

For me, it's from lag. I have a wireless modem and sometimes weather conditions affect my internet. Also, whenever my computer is downloading automatic updates, it lags my connection as well.

The worst is when I'm premoving every move, and my clock is still draining away 2 or 3 seconds per move. :D

Check your connection, and/or any downloads that may be happening in the background, is my advice.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the response however my problem is a bit different when im playing sometimes 30 or 40 seconds comes off the clock if ive only taken 5 seconds or something to move!

Very strange because its only started recently and happens nearly every game! thanks anyway!

just started happening again! is there anyway of contacting the owners of this site cos its pis...g me off big time

kingofchess210, it sounds like what you are experiencing is caused by internet lag. Could you first of all let me know what operating system, browser and browser version you are using?

Thanks for the response Kansha, you will have to excuse me I am not too great with computer systems etc however I use a wireless modem and the browser is mozilla firefox, im not sure what the difference is between a browser and browser version is though! Any help you can give to stop this happening would be great because its almost pointless playing at the moment . Thankyou.
