They are definitely cheating against you, if you cover your computer with tin foil it won't happen again.
Then stop playing.
Well server lag is a serious issue here. You can lose easily 30 seconds in a 3 minute game despite having a flawless connection. I don't think that the current method of timing is the good one. Every move should have a timestamp to the universal internet time which is synchronised. The receiving party needs to confirm the move and add a 2nd timestamp. The difference is the lag. If one party tries to cheat by interupting the connection this would be visible in increased lag. So the server could grant the same amount of extra time to the 2nd party. It would increase the total playtime but no one would lose because of server lag.
servers are knackered. my app keeps crashing more and more.
Funny that much more data intensive games like first person shooters work with 20-50 ms delay and a chess game is not able to manage even seconds. This is like 100x higher!

I occasionally find lag or lag-type issues when playing on a mobile device, but chess.com is vastly better than anywhere else I play at present. (Both ICC and playchess may be better, but I don't play there at present).

This is a free service. Why don't you pay for a room of servers and start your own site.
Even CNN has a delay when the're talking to a reporter half way around the world.
this is just an old school rant. but ofc there are two easy answers
Time controls Big enough that a little bit of lag doesn't make a difference.
Play OTB.
now, don't let the obvious distract you. Really let Chess.com know how you Feel!

Quake live was also free but worked and still works (for a one time fee of 10USD) with low lag. And by the way this isn't a free service: you got annoying ads and limited possibilities unless you pay for a subscription.

Man, that is a video stream. Loads of data probably going to space and back. The moves of an entire chess game are far far less data than a single frame of the CNN video of which you got 25 every second. That is why the lag here is a joke. There is like no data to transfer.
This place is a joke
unlike chess24, i dont get losses in time like this, i can easily monitor my time control over at chess24, the only reason i find myself still playing on chess.com's cos of the members and tournaments as well as friends
i loose more ratings out of incomplete games than of a checkmate or a neat time up
ha LoL Grikumaru
gp>Okay this is hilarious. I have 20 sec, my opponent 6 sec on the clock. I see him run out of time than suddenly a move and gets another few sec, I did not waste a second for the move. Than I see him again to time out. The game is over he WON ON TIME!!! WTF (this wasn't a fisher game, it was a regular 3 Min)
