Overall I love the simple user interface of ChessTimeLive. I have tried several online chess apps and this is by far the most simple and easy to use. However, there are some issues I would like to address. First, servers are sometimes a little shaky. This wouldn’t usually be a problem but in a 1m bullet game I can’t be wasting time due to a laggy server. Also, the game algorithm (I think this is the problem) makes some terrible mistakes sometimes...
In one game I was in a losing position, I forced threefold repetition but before I could accept the draw the option went away. I did not make a move or do anything that should have made it disappear. Even worse, in another game I had a bishop and queen on the board and my opponent had nothing, and the game randomly ends due to “insufficient material.” I HAD A QUEEN so insufficient material absolutely never should have been possible. This is a guaranteed win that is taken away due to some issue with ChessTimeLive .
I really like the simplicity of ChessTimeLive but these problems need to be addressed. It is too frustrating playing ChessTimeLive and just praying I don’t get screwed over. Please let me know if anyone else has had problems like this.
