ok I will admit the live chess 2 is pretty sweet. But the disconnect feature, though intended to help save players who have bad internet connections, is absolutely killing players with good connections. Why? Becuase when they disconnect, they dont' lose any time, but whiel they're gone I might go off and do something else, only to find 5 minutes later that they had already moved and I lost 2 minutes on my clock!
when my opponent does this 15 times in a game - my timer goes to 10 seconds when he has 4 minutes. Now who's time is lost here?
Certainly I felt like I was the one who got disconnected. IN this case, I wish I was.
My suggestion is that the disconnect time delay be watered down to 10-15 seconds max. This way players have some time to get back into the game while the waiting player won't get bored and get distracted.
thanks,!

Hmmmmm................... Interesting idea. Idk what the solution is but i agree that penalizing those with good connections is bad.
this should now be fixed - their timer will keep going.
Thanks!
Good job erik :)
