Cheating? Or Bugs?

Help! Quite frequently recently I have been playing a game, and that game has been suddenly replaced by another, not of my asking. By the time I let the site abort the second game, get offline and then on and then back to the site, I am losing the first game on time. This has happened several times in a row. Has any one else experienced it?

What browser and operating system are you using? Is there any chance you joined a live tournament and were put in a game then?

Same happened to me just now. I was playing 1 min bullet and another game would start OVER mine. I would have to abort the 2nd game which is a pain in 1 min chess:)

Hopefully won't see too much of that happening.

computer has aborted my games several times then told me I have violated fiar play and can only play every 5 mins. Annoying or what!

underbank: you have to move within 20 seconds of the start of the game or opponent's first move or the server aborts the game and penalizes you for it.

@PJKeogh- Have you had any more issues with games starting during a current game?

PJKeogh

It has been fine since thankyou jac1yn.

The same thing continues to happen. Sometimes I get bumped out of a game and find myself watching a game between two highly-rated players.

It's not to do with the 20 sec abort at all. Nor have I played in tournaments.

I'm on a mac using safari.

That's a chess.com setting you can change. Go to live chess->play live chess and click on settings. Then click on the Play tab and uncheck the Top Games checkbox.

@jontywestphal- Have you tried using any other browsers to see if the problem changes at all?
