Clock/Timer Being Manipulated

Sort:

I'm not sure, about the different servers and how they interact with programs... many things that a user cannot control. The Internet is complex and you can have a server running well and suddenly worse than other day .When player watch he can't play at the same speed of rival is exhasperant.Im not saying what is the cause.Neither how to solve but trying to return to normality searching possible solutions.Apparently browsers can affect it, but I'm not 100% comfortable with anyone. Just work good temporarily.

Yeah thread full of people not listening, not understanding what "server side" means, insisting clock manipulation still possible...

What a clown fiesta

I having good result now with Chrome.I think can be temporary and perhaps need to change browser if slow motion appear again.Apparently my problem can be caused by lapses of bad connection and how some browsers work on this situation.Try playing with a full nrg battery if it's a mobile device, that can lead to faster movements. Stop and charge when low. Lowe rhymes with slow

HAS ANYONE AROUND HERE HEARD OF THE INTERNET PHENOMENON CALLED "LAG"

Unfortunately, here again having problems with the timer. Rival timer adding time while I lose time. Obviously I lost due to time. I saw how the natural laws of the universe worked in reverse.

There is no way for us to accurately 100% always know the time from the server in a browser. I believe if a digital clock like the dgt3000 was connected it wouldn't jump around and show the correct time. The time on the server presumably ticks down normally as well, just your browser doesn't show it.

but at this time was crazy how added time to the rival in reverse. I have never played in these conditions.

Iv had it when there's lagg it happens but it's actually lying the opponent has the same amount of time it usually does and your the one with the laggy clock (it wouldn't look like lag to them it would look like you wouldn't move and clock timer would go down normally )

@Martin_Stahl while you're here, so a dgt3000 (connected through a board) would also reflect the travel time adjustment?

I don't think there's any code to update the DGT clock if you had it connected, though I could be wrong.

Thanks to technical support,I simple tell my experience as frequent usuary.

I noticed that, most of the time when clock issues surface, I am playing against an opponent with a gray flag or world map flag (Russian?). I stopped accepting challenges emanating from such players and "lag issues" mysteriously disappeared!

This website for 1 minute chess is not on the "up and up". No matter if you are playing as a guest, or against a seated player, the clock for the most part has been manipulated.

The website excuse that it is a lagg doe not hold true, as it happens often, whether the weather is good , or not.

Choose another website if you are looking for a serious match,

This website is only good for playing against friends and practicing strategies.

Actually the excuse lag is reasonable a million + games a day does cause some issues with bandwidth I mean just 20 gigabytes of download can cause lag (example a huge game ? Depending on the amount plus chess.com has to keep up with a growing player base and if it doesn't it causes issues

The issues are there. Chess.com has no intention of correcting problems. That would mean that they are responsible for their mistakes, and there are many.

Your using lagg as an excuse, and your reasonable a million + games a day do not match, as that many members would mean much more income for the website. Logic states, that your website does not have that many paying members, so you are unwilling to take the time to correct problems. Find someone else that is naive for your excuses.
