Default Pogo Chess - ONE Minute Players and Games

I like to play ONE minute games at Pogo Chess. Each player has 60 seconds to
play. You either checkmate the other guy, or he runs out of time.

It seems to me that most of the high rated players (rating: Purple or Red) are
all fakers. These are a group of rather nasty Jewish kids --perhaps a dozen
using a dozen different Screen Names. They ruin the games for White people,
with their cheating and shenanigans.

Here are some of their "dirty tricks". They will FREEZE the screen (using some
cheap program or merely by adjusting suddenly their internal computer clock). A
minute later, the Pogo chess board screen "unfreezes" and you are either robbed
of most of your time or it tells you that YOU LOST. Another cheat trick of the
Jews is to "lag" on each move and during the game. After you move, the screen
will freeze briefly. It gives the Jew kid 3 to 30 seconds to view each
position. Then, it comes back after he has moved. It has the effect of
shortening YOUR time, while allowing the Jew the luxury of taking several
minutes to study positions --in a supposed ONE minute game.

Pogo also has strange paradigms built into it. For instance, on a one minute
game, you will be winning. Your opponent has only 5 seconds left on the clock.
Again, Pogo suddenly stops reporting. After about 2 minutes, Pogo tells you
that your opponent has left. Then it requires you to sit there an additional 5
minutes, in order to claim the win. So a total of 5 or 10 minutes wait...all
just to finish 5 seconds left on a one-minute game. This is total stupidity.

First, I don't know why you associate those bad apples on pogo as
being nothing but Jews. I don't see how you can even tell that.
Whenever I'm on pogo, the bad apples seems to be anybody at any random
moment.

Next, The lagging on each move is pogo getting too much traffic. I had
some asshole start calling me a cheater when the game started lagging
on us. I could not convince him it was not me and he just kept on
bitching and insulting me. I got sick of hearing it and left the game
without finishing.

I do have my own complaints about pogo and they are many of the ones
you mentioned. For example, the 5-minute wait after the other guy
pulls the plug on his connection really ****es me off. Many of the bad
apples on there know they can make you wait the 5 mins by pulling the
plug, so they will wait until mate-in-one and then let their time run
down to just a few seconds left. Then they pull the plug and a
2-minute game suddenly turns into a near 10-minute hassle. I've sent
complaint after complaint to pogo about this, but they don't care
because it's a free service.

BTW the purples and reds are FAR from being that rating in real life.
I can crack 2000 on there after one day of ass-kicking, yet I only a
scrape up a mere 1600 in real life on the average.

Your comments are extremely offensive. How can you say that every
single person with a score higher than yours, or every person who
beats you at chess, is Jewish! And what do you mean "They ruin the
games for White people"??? Most Jews are white, idiot! I think that
you're just a jealous anti-semite. Don't blame your failures or lack
of skill on an entire culture. We Jews have suffered enough without
some low-life like you accusing us for something which is attributed
to pogo's traffic or your low bandwidth. Either way, it does not give
you an excuse to rant on about how Jews are cheaters, etc...
