LEAVE LIVE ALONE!!
Oddly enough... they've mysteriously cleared things up somewhat. The lag is still spiky depending on ones geographic region and whether it's advert prime time. ![]()
No offence prazium, but this is a magnitude of difference we're discussing here. It is NOT normal lag, something which I, over the course of some 100,000 games, am familiar with. So, take me at my word that when I say what is going on here is NOT normal? It's NOT normal, and the site owners and caretakers know this FULL WELL.
V2 members had consistency when it came to games. The ads were neither a distraction nor a penalty when it came to bullet/blitz games.
In v3, there is wild variation among players as the "ad" stream is no longer in chess.com's control. Each player gets a different stream.
And don't say, "But we have "focus mode!" Focus mode is useless for bullet. Focus mode is just stupid and a bandaid because you saddled the main interface with too much crap. Remove the CRAP and you DON'T NEED a bleeding useless 'focus mode'. Because you know what 'focus mode' does? It highlights what a FAILURE your interface is.
