It would be interesting for you to see if it would happen to you on other sites, especially if they use a program like TimeSeal which is supposed to disregard the transmission time when debiting your clock. Such as Chessanytime.com chessanytimecom does. I have had time loss on two other sites tho, while it was my move. But the clocks there and connections too, were not very reliable at all.

It's been a while since we looked at the endgame, so this week we begin a short series on this often neglected area with a terrific demonstration of endgame technique from the ever-improving chess world No 1 Magnus Carlsen.

Though the chess tournament is not at the level of Linares or Corus, it still attracts top players, notably Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion from Russia. Kramnik has been associated with Dortmund, as the chess event is often referred to, for many years because he has won the tournament nine times, far more than any other. He first won it in 1995 and is the defending champion this year. The tournament is a double-round robin this year, meaning each competitor plays all the others twice, once with each color. In addition to Kramnik, the No. 4 chess player in the world, the field includes ...
