why does this happen

I am playing someone and fully ahead of them. All of a sudden my screen says I am reconnecting. Then even though their time is running out. Then actually does run out. They win.  Here's the good part. Immediately after they win because of my disconnect. The disconnect goes away and its ready to start again..  It is really destructive to my rating and killing my enjoyment of play. Anyone with an Idea ?

Clients never directly connect so your opponents can't get your connection details.
