Dunno but I just got disconnected from a game and my computer couldn't load the live chess portion of the website until after I already lost that game on time. Two moves away from checkmate and it happened.

Hi Mochilero,

It sounds like you are experiencing internet lag. No one has hacked the site, I assure you :-)

That has happened to me as well lately.  Many times just seconds away from winning on time and suddenly I freeze up and the opponent wins.  Do you happen to have a wireless network adapter?  I think it started happening to me after I bought mine.

It has happened before. Mostly when I play on my phone. Itll say 'Reconnecting' and I'd get pretty pissed because I'm always winning by time.

I just lost on time to an opponent after their time zeroed out.  Next my computer resets while playing tournamet.  Maybe they spam your port somehow and knock you off site?????  Curious how these irregularities only occur when your winning.
