So bad.

For the governing body of chess you’d think they could have better funding for servers, I mean LICHESS does it for free. The amount of times I lost games with a 15 second lead to mysteriously hitting 0 on the timer after a move has been infuriating, all the while in other games my opponents take more than 3 minutes to start the game on a timed 30 minute start.
