Guys could you please post a few links to those games. We need to check time to find a pattern.

I agree, it would make it easier to fix

I was way ahead in a game of Fog of War but when I moved my pieces they moved back and my clock timed out. Every move I tried it wouldn't accept. And it didn't say I had disconnected
Maanavan:I think you moved the wrong colored piece.

I can't see how that could possibly happen except in Racing Kings. In FoW, you can only see your own pieces at the start of the game, so it would be almost impossible not to realize which color you control.
With Racing Kings, on the other hand, both players have the same perspective, and have both sets of pieces in front of them. I once started a game of RK, tried to move a white piece for five seconds, panicked, then realized that it wasn't my turn and the game was abandoned.

Well that’s why your clock represents what color you move, and you will always move white, since if you move black, your opponent will move first, and if the orientation is upside down, then it will be even more complicated.

Nope. It's a bug that's been around for a while now. I've had it happen several times in atomic, which I've posted about before here.

Yeah, happens.
For horde, I absolutely must play solid and consistent since I am invested in my rating, so I try to reserve 30 seconds per move minimum (if time control is 3+2). That way, I have good enough recovery in event of lag or a crash.
For the bug that's being mentioned here it doesn't matter how much time you have. Reloading the page won't even bring you back to the latest move. It will instead bring you to some glitchy looking screen that's on the starting position. You're clearly still connected to the server since you can load the page, but there's literally nothing you can do to fix your situation. I even tried going to the archive to look at the game there while my time was ticking down, and it just displayed a glitchy result there as well until I timed out.
