There should be a mode (you can disable it if you want), that tells you the internet connection speed, as well as the stability of the connection. If your internet connection is fast, but very unstable, it should give you a warning telling you that the internet is unstable, and recommends you to not play at that time.
While it doesn’t completely solve the connection issues obviously, at least it tries to solve it.
Right. Develop this feature, that will show ping and analyze connection, recommend you to play or not this time.
Я думаю они могут показывать только пинг, но не стабильность в будущем (ближайшие 20 минут)
Пинг уже отображается насколько я помню, но оно там как-то не очень понятно работает
That would be awesome

How is Chess.com supposed to know the stability of your connection?

..just like any other speed test website does?
That's only a point in time snapshot. It doesn't guarantee something on your local network or client won't cause issues while playing, or that the live server you get connected to for a particular game might not have something between you and the server that can cause issues.

We should get 16 ratings instead of 8 when our opponent cheated with us in an online match.
Logic - Example: Before the match started, assume I have a rating of 1000, and after winning, my new rating should be 1008, but since I lost because someone cheated, it came down to 992. After a few days, Chess.com adds back only the lost rating when it detects a cheater.
Your thoughts?.....
