Reconnecting to games in progress in Live Chess

Sort:
rs18

I been experiencing a weird problem lately.  Recently, in Live Chess I've been having a problem with getting disconnected and then not being able to reconnect to the current game I have in progress.  Sometimes, when I reconnect I get connected to an earlier finished game, rather than the one I'm currently playing.  Later, the current game will show in my history as a loss.  Is there a way to manually browse back to a game in progress?  How do I find it and reconnect?

Seems a new policy is in place:

That looks like a really good rule, I would love to be able to resume adjourned / disconnected games.  But I don't think that's what's happening in my case.  The disconnected game turns to a loss at the end of time, as at always has in the past.  The problem I'm having is that when I reconnect to Chess.com, I'm not always connecting automatically back to the game that I got booted out of.  Sometimes I connect to an earlier finished game.  It's weird.  I'd like to be able to find my game in progress and not leave the other player hanging and cursing my name.

Thanks for your reply.

That's a horrible rule. Someone who is losing can just disconnect, never return and never lose points.

I see at the bottom it says action will be taken against abusers but, really, actions taken by CC for other abuses does not really seem to amount to an affective deterrent.

I had problems twice when I would be winning and the opposing player would disconnect.  How to reconnect without registering a loss?
