Game abandoned glitch?

Sort:

I was playing black.  I moved. A few minutes later a message appeared saying game abandoned, white wins.  But I had moved.  My move showed on the board.  I was waiting for white.  When I did the game analysis, however, my final move was not registered.  My internet connection is very strong, as was whites.  I would have lost the game anyway because of a stupid blunder early on, but I was not ready to abandon.  Plus, I hate when people abandon.  I don't want to be that guy.  Has this happened to anyone else?

It happens to a lot of people occasionally.  I don't know your set up but people do occasionallyl lose their connections.   Are you using wifi? Or an ethernet connection? Or a phone app?  

I can see from your archive that it was the first time you have lost by abandonment.

I also see that you have won 9 games that way.

I play on a desktop with a strong high speed connection.  My opponent's connection was strong as well.  I'm fairly confident it wasn't a connection problem.  

I have won a few when opponents abandoned.  Some clearly had weak connections.  A couple I think were just poor sports, because their connection registered as strong.

C'est la vie.

Sometimes the connection bar doesn't catch a disconnect from the live server process. So your move was never received by the live server and when the client finally reconnected, it received the notification of loss by abandonment.

 

Some things you can do to minimize potential issues:
