It is lag and it happens to me every single day even though I have Firefox installed. Live Chess is in Beta so don't forget that! It is still under construction and the lag problem hasn't yet been resolved.
Cheating or lag?
Sort:
i get it to,sometimes i can,t even get the board back up, until i log off and back on again
It's cheating. There's a little program you can run to trigger that on your opponent's computer.
Its not cheating. I get accused of cheating nearly every time i use live chess. (have you people no manners? You know who you are....) . I have no idea how to cheat, or use what ever programme you are talking about, on live chess, or any chess. I do use the pre move function to great effect and this can cause some upsets. But lag is an issue too i guess....
Playing QUARTERMASTER. Q had 19 sec left, I had 2 min. My screen goes blank. Q got the win. I never lost internet connection. Is this a persistent problem for this web site?
