Fix connection problems


You thought 17.6 seconds before your time went out.
Even with ping 800 you could make a move.
Maybe you were just mad because you were losing and thought, let's blame it on the site!?
Sorry mate.
(btw, it even says ping 829 ms, server 3 ms. I dont know what you on there mate)
Time controll was bullet. Check also 21 move - 10.6 seconds. This was first lag. No one use 10.6 and 17.6 seconds at my level to make a move in a bullet game. During last move I was trying to move king somewhere but there was no reaction from the server.
I also experienced unreasonably long lags when I made my moves in recent bullet games: I had to wait about 10 seconds for a move to become effective after I sent the command.
This has happened to me many times in blitz games now. I'll make a move and my clock will keep counting down until I lose.
For me the problem is slow and/or unreliable internet. I wish that LiChess, which I love, could discern between a slow move and crappy internet. It's an extra penalty for those of us living in third world countries.
Thanks
For me it is not related to the internet connection in general but only to LiChess Server, I can say so because (1) I experience the problem with different internet providers/connections (2) I don't experience this problem with other chess platforms.
