Why does this site lag so bad for bullet chess?

Playing bullet chess on this site has become a joke.  The lag is horrible and happens on about 50% of my games. It makes playing on this site frustrating and futile.  Can't you guys fix this?

You'd rather ask your internet provider about this problem.

It's always had a bit too much lag for me to enjoy the bullet here...

Something like adding 30 seconds to a game is meaningless in long time controls, but in 1|0 it completely changes the game.

They intentionaly lag it if you are not paying for premium service.

That's only useful if they advertise no lag among the premium member benefits.

I would suggest moving your bedroom right next to the chess.com servers.

Great advice.

Look, I don't want to get into all the specific cases where obviously it is not my Internet connect - IT IS LAME SOFTWARE DESIGNED BY CHESS.COM

Someone needs to come up with a new site where bullet can be played and enjoyed without all the bullsheet lag.

I did not renew subscription and now I give up at least 5 seconds in bullet games. Board loads slowly and I cant move my pieces as time ticks off the clock.

Saying that and blaming the site is ridiculous, I have been a free member in chess.com for enough time to say that is not a reasonable statement.

People on the Internet are seldom reasonable.

best place to play bullet  chess is chess tempo

 

cQueenPro

I feel chess.com is the best place for bullet despite the fact that my rating here is about 250 points lower than in lichess. 

I love the ease with which the pieces move here (especially in the new version). I don't really know how to explain this but I feel that the pieces weigh a lot lighter in chess.com

Ratings there are extremely inflated, take a look at my profile there, same name as here.

bragason

 [another site -- VP] uses a rating system that begins at 1500 I believe.

You're right. Now, let's keep this discussion about chess.com.
