It's not a good thing, but for them it is, and it's unfair. I'm very upset right now. I premoved the whole game, and I was down 20 seconds on the clock in a 3-minute blitz game. My opponent had 200 ms ping. I immediately blocked him after the game because that is just unfair, and I'm very upset right now.

There was a system on another chess website i can't say on here. but they had an option where you can see the other opponents ping before you played them, and had an option where you can accept or decline i hope chess.com uses that system in the future.

hi @lifebymegs. I regularly experience the same thing here. All along I thought it was my internet connect which was the problem. Hehe
Ducking cheating Bee otchs chess.com uses algorithm for setting up tournaments and to keep free players lower they allow people to cheat using chess engines and won't do anything if you flag them. I can attest when using the paid version I am matched up against regular people but then running on the free version I will win some but can't gain much on my elo
How is it fair to play someone with 100ms+ ping on this site? I'm constantly having to premove my moves when it comes to players with higher pings. And it's costing me to make horribly bad moves. For example, I played a player from China, and I premoved my opening, and it felt like he/she was taking longer to move. But somehow my time on the clock was going down much faster, and I had to start premoving every move because of it; otherwise, I'd be down on so much time. I basically had to pre-move almost every move, and therefore made some bad moves. By the end of the game, I was still down 20 seconds ??. is chess.com going to fix this i find it very unfair. If I play people with good pings, it's usually a fair game, but when it comes to people with higher than 100 ms + pings I feel they get a huge advantage. Chess.com should make it so that we can decline players with such high pings because it's extremely unfair.
