Here is my story: I played against the player known as "danthemasterman, aprox. 200 points better then myself. I guess i Had an initiative until  the ending. Then, unfortunately I bludered, but still I was better on time. I realized there would be no chance for my opponent to mate me in time he at that moment had. So I played further, until his time elapsed. On the screen there was 0:00 time for my opponent, but the computer suddenly refused to acknowlidge that and gave him another 3 sec. I played another move and his time again expired. Again the computer gave him another 3 sec. After my move I still had aprox. 12 sec. while his time expired again. And again the computer gave him another 3.sec. I got completely cofused about this and then the computer told me that I lost because of time! I feel cheated and extremely bitter. Are there some people with an automatic advantage or what? Time is the same for everybody, or isn't? I think whoever is responsible for the Live chess program ows me some explanation!

This player did not cheat you, and anyway you should not accuse a player in the forum and use that players name in your topic. I believe this is a common example of "lag"

This has happend to all of us i think, and it also may be because the live chess isn`t perfect yet, but its not that you opponent have a advantage or something. Things happends...
