games aborted when opponent losing

This is the most annoying thing ever. You're winning a game, and then you get disconnected and lose rating. I know this is unusual because it has never happened when I'm losing.

It's highly likely some of your loss by abandonment games were ones you were losing in .

How do you abort a game in the middle of it? I lose the option to abort on iOS and the browser after move 1.

You don't. Aborts in those cases are usually due to server issues, restarts, or games in arenas when the arena ends.

Your last batch of games were in an arena. When the arena ends all ongoing games are aborted.

Apparently someone can abort a game even if the opponent has made a move. It should be strictly restricted to the pre- color assignment phase.

There's very little time once a pairing is made. Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for someone to abort. However, if they do it too often, as a percentage of recently completed games, they lose the ability to abort and all games that start rated are rated.

Game aborted just now, i was winning, what the hell ??? Just spent 25 mins on a game for nothing ??? At least let me analyse the game ?! chess.com im sure you can do better than that... And dont talk about the red banner warning about the maintenance, there was none on the mobile app.

Same here. I can't say I was winning although I had a good situation. I had lots of time left at 8:13 left on the timer. The game spontaneously aborted with no warning and the game doesn't even show in my archive.

Anyways ... it is puzzling. Am I missing something?

You mean you spent 25 minutes on a blitz game? Wow!

Care to show us the game?

There was a live server restart. When that happens all ongoing games are aborted.

You would have needed to analyze it immediately before closing or copy the PGN somewhere to do it.

I played a match but the opponent was about to resign through automatic resign but suddenly when the resigning timer ended at 00:00 the match aborted and disappeared I made very excellent moves in the match and I wanted to watch it again but it disappeared I was supposed to win it based on the opponent's auto resign but I can't even find the match in the archive what is the solution??

Do you have any information about the game? Did you keep the game link?
