Really bugging me. I would've beat a guy ranked 300 points higher than me - but I ran out of time because I disconnected twice, losing 40 seconds each time in a five minute game.

Is there anything I can do to have fewer disconnects? This is ridiculous!

This topic has been discussed way to many times. Live chess is under development, and this will be better when they are launching uptades...Disconnections has happend to all of us, but you just have to live with it...I should be said that the problem isnt that big as it where before...they are making progress:)

Actually, the current version of live chess has no server-side disconnects. (See the latest message from Erik and his team.)

Any problems you are having with connection is a problem on your side, not chess.com's.

Yes thats true...i just read it  right now:)

I didn't blame chess.com - actually I did the opposite. I want to know what I can do to have fewer. I see that I have more than my opponents, so clearly it's not chess.com, and nothing in my post even began to blame the site.

What can I do about it?

Anybody have any relevant info on this?

Well, what browser are you using? How do you connect to the internet?

Internet explorer through Windows Vista, wireless connection.

Do other browsers have fewer problems?

Well, the new system has been designed to work better with IE, but, if you would, please try using either Firefox or Google Chrome, and see if those work better. Personally, I think they are better browsers anyway.

You can shoot all the Birds around your house. I hear that they can make problems with wireless connections. Or you can just shoot your ISP, I hear that they have good net conn in jails.

how about when other persons time runs out and nothing happens, you have to leave the game and you lose the points...not fair, happened twice to me today

Use Firefox...
