Lose in 15 seconds

I'm wondering if it makes sense to lose a 960 game in 15 seconds, right before opening, because you haven't sorted out what piece to move yet. This is true especially in 960 where each position is a new one. I have lost a couple of 3 minutes matches this way. Do you think it makes sense?

No it doesn't make sense. But that's how the site now works. I assume that 1.d4 or 1.e4 is always good enough from any 960-position. Or any pawn move that frees your Bishop. Thinking that way, you can perfectly deal with how the site now works and do your first move within the first 10 sec.
