Normally host and client check in every frame if there are new packets - but now the program was "frozen" - waiting host to click mouse - and it was NOT doing ANYTHING else. So - I was waiting things to happen, and hadn't click mouse button.

Either way, what was happening? Was the game in a state where it thinks you are dragging a piece when really you aren't? Or in a state where it's always one (several?) mouse events behind?
