Removal of first move auto abort?
Sort:
My live chess games no longer auto abort if my opponent fails to make a first move within ~20 seconds. The timeout seems to have increased to 60 seconds, but I can't find this documented anywhere. The chess.com sportsmanship policy still states 15-20 seconds for auto abort. Anyone else experience this?
Here's a screenshot showing that the game was aborted after 61 seconds of inactivity.

10|0 is rapid now and the abort timer is longer for rapid.
