Is Lishogi lagging?Measurements in progress...No. And your network is good.No. And your network is bad.Yes. It will be fixed soon!

And now, the long answer! Game lag is composed of two unrelated values (lower is better):

Lishogi server latency

The time it takes to process a move on the server. It's the same for everybody, and only depends on the server load. The more players and the higher it gets, but Lishogi developers do their best to keep it low. It rarely exceeds 10ms.

Network between Lishogi and you

The time it takes to send a move from your computer to Lishogi server, and get the response back. It's specific to your distance to Lishogi (United Kingdom), and to the quality of your Internet connection. Lishogi developers cannot fix your wifi or make light go faster.

You can find both these values at any time, by clicking your username in the top bar.

Lag compensation

Lishogi compensates network lag. This includes sustained lag and occasional lag spikes. There are limits and heuristics based on time control and the compensated lag so far, so that the result should feel reasonable for both players. As a result, having a higher network lag than your opponent is not a handicap!
