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. One of those sites also knocks you out of the blitz room about every third game, if they get more than 60 games going.

Gelfand won the title by beating Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine in a playoff on Monday. The first four games of the playoff were rapid games (25 minutes per player per game) and Gelfand took the lead by winning the second game. But Ponomariov, with his back to the wall, won the last rapid game to tie the match up again. The playoff then went to blitz chess (5 minutes per player per game) and Gelfand once again took the lead by beating Ponomariov in the first game when he managed to trap Ponomariov’s queen in 21 moves. Ponomariov rallied again, winning the second game. But Gelfand won the third and Ponomariov ...
