Hey chess.com My last game was rigged. The opponents time was running out and suddenly with 16 seconds left he makes a move and then I am unable to make mine, the app hangs, timer is stuck. No more chess games. Not worth it. Good bye.
when will chess.com fix the rampant timer hacking

agreed, it's either chess.com incompetence or a hack

There was a site issue and staff are working on it
had 3 seconds left on my clock, pre-moved and lost on time instantly after my op made their move. Happens multiple times a day. I don't see how a clock can have lag - its not some complex graphics or mechanics and i very much doubt the timer service is coupled to anything. I dont have lag my side, if my op does it should eat their time, not mine. Never once happened on lichess and has only been happening the past year for me.
I feel sorry for Martin having to try and defend cc against all the complaints about clocks
Why feel bad for martin when its a legitimate complaint
Are you saying that comment 15 is a legitimate complaint?
I mean most of the posts in this thread is complaining about the timer. You going to say they're all trolls or something?
It's not uncommon for companies to make users who don't pay to run slower. For example, windows when unactivated actively makes your pc run significantly slower until you activate it.
As someone who had no membership for a year and then got membership for a year I can confidently say that I experience the same in game experience with and withought membership. The only time I have experienced “ rampant timer hacking” is when my sister spilt a glass of water on my internet box

Hahahaha! Was it on purpose or on accident
It is unfortunate but, this chess website is set up (written) to make money for the owners of this website, meaning that only paying members with a diamond membership will be able to hack the clock or cheat on a regular basis.
It is in the interest of the owners, because they are in reality, extorting players of their website.
The only way to change this, is for an international chess organization to take over control of the website, with official rules and ratings.
This will not happen in the near future.
If people become tired of being extorted and cheated, and the website has a large loss of members and interest, they may decide to re-write the program, that or shut it down!
It’s actually kinda funny that you believe that
