Why does my opponent keep leaving at crucial points & coming back? Very distracting and suspicious??

As subject above. Any ideas or anything to dispell my suspicion he is checking a computer for the next move?

Some people just do this. It's not cheating, I think it's people closing the window in anger or losing interest, those are my guesses.

That’s eating your clock. And 90% won’t read it.

I don't understand exactly. You mean to say the opponent is doing this because he is just too fast and has other things to do while in a chess game besides focus on the game?
