why do people abandon live games when losing is imminent?  this happened to me twice today.  Also, there was only about 10 seconds left in one.

 

confusing.

Perhaps to save themselves 10 seconds at your expense?

Such is the way of things now... people are so selfish these days.

I hope not.

It just doesnt register as a CM for the winner.  it stinks.  Right after I played you mtnbiker, someone from Bulgaria abandoned a game, 1 move before I was gonna CM him.  Royaly stinks.
