Disconnecting and losing

Sort:

May I suggest that as long as the live chess is on beta that you don't rate the games and basically don't include the games in any statisitcs except beta statistics that will be cancelled once the beta is a finished?

Ah gotcha, sounds like they could award a draw there. But then they should make sure that if you run out of time that they give a draw if the opponent has no mating material, otherwise people will disconnect to get a draw.

If you time out and your opponent doesn't have enough matieral to mate, then it is counted as a draw

All the times I've lost in the last in weeks was only due to the "Disconnected from server" error.

It would be nice if there could be the possibility, as on other sites, to reconnect within a certain time (i.e. one minute).

 

p.s. of course, my rating suffered 'cause of these disconnection, that's not fair.


we know. we're sorry. we're working on it :(

same with my case i hope they can study our lost games from disconnection so they give it back our lost points. thanks

I have been experiencing frequent disconnections for weeks now. As I go and read this post and posts similar to it, I see that very little has been done to resolve this issue. What gives?

just because you don't see what is going on doesn't mean nothing is being done :) totally new version of live chess around the corner (a few months). in the meantime, make sure you are using the best possible browser (chrome, safari, or firefox) on a good computer with a solid internet connection.

very sorry! live chess is the most frustrating part of my life :)

It's just a rating, guys.  I'm glad to play live chess, even in beta here.  I've lost not a few games from being disconnected, but it just makes me play smarter when my internet connection is being nice to me ;)
