players that manipulate the clock

What I say is when it's time for the opponent to move, his time stops counting, he stops, but when it's my turn, time keeps counting as usual. Can you understand what I'm saying now?

This happens when your connection to the server drops. Your opponent isn't manipulating the clocks. You are losing connection to the server.

No, I asked him and he told me ... Pre Move

Premoves doesn't manipulate the clocks. It's just a move that takes zero seconds to execute.

A lot has changed, except the packets... In which case an offset (e.g. pause (^P)) to the clock would look as if it were a lag...

In any event, it happens, too consistently when I am winning on the clock, during a time crunch for it to be written off as a set of unfortunate events...

When the clock stops in zero seconds and you do not receive notification that the game is over, regardless of who has won, how should that be understood?

With this I leave the forum because I see that there are opinions that are confronted or different.

As I wrote above, I encountered that phenomenon only once, but I wonder actually as well, why people here dismiss this idea so easily and make "flat earth" jokes.

It is a fact, that there are CheatBots and Cheat programs everywhere, in online poker or other online games like Fortnite or Counterstrike or whatever.

I don't say, that this is the case here at Lichess, but there is no reason, why it should not be. At least one should consider the possibility.
