More often than not the game is aborted by the server.this msg appears, where as Ihave not aborted the game. This often is repeated and now I have been informed that" you have ot been foowing fairplay policy"! What is the remedy on this issue?

Something that trips up a lot of players is that each player has only 15 to 20 seconds to make their first move.  Whether this is a fair policy or not can certainly be debated, but chess.com should definitely make this policy more publicly available.  It's buried in the Fair Play Policy.  I'll get you the link:

Hope that takes care of it for you.

Just today, twice that happened to me, and I played within 4 - 6 seconds from the start of the game!  The above reply does not help me with this conundrum. 

Anyone have any ideas??

Probably a connection issue! Sometimes clearing your cache and disabling any addons or extensions in your browser can help with this issue.

201Supersoft(1594) player and me Jontona was playing a game when I got "game aborted"  without any action on we players. This was at 10:16 EST. Why does chess.com / software do this???
