you're really going to necropost on a year-and-a-half forum for this???
I understand that when your time is up you lose. My question is how can I lose if I still have time (i.e.) 5 min utes, etc ansd while i am thinking about a move for a few seconds suddenly the other guy wins. Is there a time limit per move? Or is it some momentary disconnect that cause that?

So ce you didn't provide the game, it's hard to say for sure. Looking at your archive, it looks like maybe you got disconnected?
