In this blitz game (https://www.chess.com/live/game/5393125299)

chess.com’s lousy servers were so laggy it registered a pre-move of 2..Ke7 when I was trying to move the laggy pawn which made me lose the game.


To rectify this the points I lost should be deduckted from @erik for pocketing too much of the add revenue instead of reinvesting and rating points returned to me as the rightful owner

Hi my dear friend , i learnt chess about 45 years ago of my mum?!when i was 7 years old!but unfortunatly for doing main duties like going to school and countinuing till uiversity and wedding that forced me to find job i didnt have enaugh time to play chess,but from the beginning of learning chess i didnt like any kind of chess but the standard ?specially those need to speed like bullet and blitz!!because i think the chess is not a hobby ,it is a kind of science and so it needs to enaugh time for thinking to find out the best move with the minimum of mistakes?because there is no way to change the move!?anyway im ready to play daily and even hourly chess challanges.good luck.Kapabelankar.

Didn’t ask you to waffle about your life story. Nods of agreement that erik is to blame are more welcome here

I agree with you erik is only focused with lining his pockets from capitalism and not interested in the equality of chess.com users (although he did play me once)

Unfortunately, it seems ultimately there was misclicking involved if you ended up moving your king (even if there were lag involved). Alternatively, 2. Ke7 and 2...Ke7 moves are pretty popular nowadays anyway happy.png

That is quite the mischaracterization of @erik, at least based on my interactions with him and reading his posts. Being the head of the site, he certainly doesn't have time to read all the forums, but he is very concerned with making the site the best it can be.

I my few bullet games, I am left with one second in my clock and I played a move, it's showing in the notation and the board that I had played it, but after 5 seconds it's showing that I lost by timeout. I am really irritated, please help me out.
Thank you

Making the move on the client doesn't mean it reaches the server before the official clock time expires. If you have too much lag, beyond the amount that's compensated for, then it's still possible to lose on time.

So e things you can do to minimize issues:

Sometimes, you wanna move at your chance but couldn't, can hackers do that?? I feel very disappointed 😞
