Servers are extra terrible today

I love pre-moving my next move and still losing 3 seconds on the clock. When are you all going to start tracking how long the server takes to process requests and rewarding that time back? "Our servers are super busy because of covid" isn't a valid excuse. I don't want to win or lose games because of your technical issues.

You can go to parks or clubs and play with a time clock. I don't understand how people come online and expect to play fast games.

How is that an argument? Why did you take time to type that out?

That's poetic, I take time.

The site does forgive some lag, but if you have small disconnects or too much lag between the client and the site live server, that will count against the official clocks.

Speed test results: 210 Mbps down, 56 Mbps up. Playing on a desktop through ethernet. It doesn't seem to be me.

Who's accepting or making fast chess offers then?

You're right. I think I'll stop paying for a service that offers "fast chess" but can't deliver it. Apologize to your parents for me. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been raising a moron.

Are you claiming your 1069 blitz rating is due to the server? Otherwise you would be 2000+?

YourBurgerMate

What was this? 10. Qxd7+???

You only make my sympathize for your parents more now that I know they had to raise an autistic moron

YourBurgerMate

You almost got 100 rating points by insulting strangers on the internet. Keep it up.

Wits-end

I depend on internet use for much of my daily work. Today, I experienced severe slowness on most programs I use. Maybe today just a bad sun storm day.
