There's two sides to this world what Kramnik is trying to prove even though he might not know is that there are time travelling gods , who can freeze time while you're at the board go on holiday , have an orgy check with a chess engine , come back and make the best move while never having left the board themselves . He can't prove it cause he will be discredited as a mad man , it's catch 22 he'll never prove it and will go mad trying to prove it . Best just to be happy to be a human Kramnik and you've not been collected by 'them' yet ,much love SchizoSi xxx edit : I'm quite mad you know ha ha ha ha xxx
Have you been visiting Mr. Wilde, the Repairer of Reputations, who lives just upstairs above Hawberk the Armourer? Or perhaps visiting the ruins of fair Carcosa to read ancient tombstones?

Kramnik insisted on playing on freshly unboxed computers which had lead to further problems...

fascinating.
I haven't finish watching yet, but how crazy is it that kramnik refuses to play on chess.com, and to them that means there's no way to play online chess. when you're in the chess.com cult, you can't under any circumstances acknowledge other chess sites for any reason.
someone, please go to a tournament sponsored by chess.com wearing a lichess tee.
not sure how the laptops clocks being on the wrong time would cause a game clock to be wrong. maybe slewing could cause that? idk.
My understanding of lichess (which is terrible and wrong) are the clocks get updated when it receives a move. so what the browser shows as your time remaining can be wrong, but it will correct itself after every move made.

The lichess clock can behave badly sometimes. The other day i was in a 3+2 and i waited over 2 mins for my opponent to move and when it registered my clock was down to about 15 seconds in an instant.

for sure. from what I've seen, though, it fixes itself after every move.
it sounds like your browser didn't receive your opponents move. This is very roughly how I imagine it works, but it's unlikely to be an accurate description. Your opponent moved, the server received their move, sent it to you, stopped your opponents clock and started yours.
For whatever reason, maybe a network glitch, maybe a browser glitch, maybe solar flairs, your browser didn't receive or show the move by your opponent. So your browser was still showing your clock was stopped, and your opponents clock running.
when your browser finally received your opponent's move, the clock on your browser was updated with the right times. which sucks to be you in this case, because from your perspective, your opponent took 2 minutes to move, but you were the one to lose 2 minutes on your clock.
Your clock was wrong for 1 move. the way they were describing what happened to kramnik, his clock was wrong for many moves.
I think it's part of online chess. mouse slips, network issues, computer issues. over the span of 100s of games it should all equal out where sometimes you lose because of a glitch and sometimes you win because of a glitch.
