why lag comp (and not kb) is ruining ultrabullet

Lichess isn't gonna remove lag compensation.
So, your arguments and threads are pointless, useless and a waste of time.

It's as simple as that.
lol, of course you would be against what i say, you don't even consider hyper and ultra chess lol. why are you here debating about it if you think it's not chess? it is just as much of a chess as classical. go tell that to penguin, magnus and alireza lol. so you think they are playing something else? i don't even gonna respond to you no more, you don't talk about chess, i'm talking about chess so i don't see why i should be discussing kb and comp with you lol. just cause you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't chess. why are you even arguing on something you don't even consider chess lol.
Lag compensation was added to help users who have a lot of lag to still be able to use lichess stably if I’m right.
yes it was added for that, it's just it's not nicely implemented which is now making us enable to play - giving us disadvantage.
I have never been penalized by lag advantage, it's a fair system. Go complain to lichess if youre not happy.
most obviously you wouldn't have, you don't even play it, and don't even consider it chess. why are you posting in this thread in the first place, you said it's not chess so i refuse to engage in any kinda discussion w you.
i'll drop these two threads here, lots of further elaborated points and arguments there are. not posting for people who are against it, as they will still stay same, will say same, claim same, to non-laggers being not certain on the matter or hesitating there's even better argumentation here. otherwise, i'm done with discussing it with people who don't respect my right to not have a disadv and don't care about how unfairly i'm treated.

but, as i said, i don't care no more, kb will get back soon and i will get like 200 points higher, and not even lose single game vs comp, or won't even play vs them. :*
@Will14 for me ultra bullet corresponds to time trouble situations in bullet and 3min blitz. I know a few games where I won by dirty flagging tricks I learned in ultra. Also it makes players more aware of check mates and attacks and quick thinking. True ultra isn't completely chess but that doesn't mean it is not chess at all, you just add other considerations like time and antipremove traps etc. Regardless about which game you mean by football neither game make the player dribble the ball. In soccer (in the US) only the player that even touches the ball with hands is the goalie. In football (in the US) dribbling is a good way of fumbling and losing the game, but that is another subject. True making random kb premoves does not win an ultrabullet game but in my experience a strong kb is more dangerous than a strong mouse player. The problem with kb in my opinion is that you download an extension that other players may not even be aware of. That creates advantage for the side that has the kb. If lichess.org announced that they made the kb extension a feature on their site I would be indifferent. When it comes to lag compensation the idea is that some players have the disadvantage of a weaker connection it takes more time to move so lichess.org compensates by delaying the clock slightly. The problem seems to be that sometimes there is too much compensation and the advantages are flipped. That's something that lichess.org has been trying to fix for a while. Although lag compensation is hard to balance I don't think it should be removed completely. I enjoy the fact that I can play bullet and ultra bullet on lichess.org with out worrying about not being able to play due to lag on days when the connection is bad.
