Opponent run out of time. At roughly 4 mins to my 11 min, i offered a draw because I suspect he was stuck and cant move. There was no response and the clock kept on winding down. When time ran out, chess.com declared I win, and declared my new rating at 1515 which was exactly the same I had before the game!

Then it disconnected me!!

I wonder, if the disconnection has anything to do with the fact that I did not move any pieces for more than 6 mininutes? How long does chess.com clock players before disconnecting them.. when there is no activity?

When I returned to live chess, my total points actually went down because of the disconnection. Which give new meaning to the "you win" statement ... har... har.

addendum II: I was wrong, the points going down was because it awarded a win on the first game, and a loss on the second game. these were simultaneous games that got disconnected at the same time. Both opponents turn to move.. and their clocks wound down. Looks like a whole mess of debugging still need to be done.
