Too many problems in Chess.com

1. Lag Compensation system: If you have higher ping compare to opponent, even 10-50 ping higher, your premove get more than 0.2sec+ or sometimes premove takes 2 seconds. 2. Premove glitches: Sometimes when you do multiple premoves, the order gets mixed up, for instance you are facing a minor ping problem, and chooses knight to take "first" and premove queen to overtake it. But due to the ping, the server recognizes as queen takes the piece first. so opponent takes the queen, not the knight so losing the trade bad. Ending up losing the entire game. 3. Weird ping advantage: For US players, they seemed to have better ping no matter what wifi they use compared to Asian, Australian, European, African, and South American. This is probably because server is at US. When it comes to South East Asia and East Asia, it gets worst. I have decent wifi running 4k youtube videos with no buffering but lagging on premoving chess.com 🤣

If you play multiple premoves, then the second premove is only 0.1 seconds. I also had the problem where the first premove took a long time, & I don’t know if that’s solvable

Oh also sometimes when "1. I have high ping 2. I'm playing bullet chess and it's endgame 3. there are less than 15 sec left." I try to make 2-3 premoves ahead of everytime but the game cancels the premove I make sometimes. Also the most annoying thing is on my screen I checked my opponent lost his time, 0:00. But 5-6 seconds later they get like 10+ sec back and I lost by time. Which doesn't even make sense.
