Has anyone had this happen before?
Let's say you just made a fairly devastating move. Not a killer blow ; but still very significant.
Immediately your opponent disconnects or seemingly abandons the game.
Not always but often they leave game play and then log right back on as if they are having connection issues.
While they do this back & forth dance between re-establishing connection and leaving again it seems to many time to cause me to lose connection to the game.
This situation goes from me being in a winning position to me losing cause it ends up looking as if I am the one who abandoned the game.
To me ; I think there should be safe guards in place to keep a person in a winning position from losing like this. I mean why does anyone logically abandon a game they are winning?
Your opponent can't impact your connection, so what looks like your opponent having connection issues is likely a connection issue on your end .
Some things to look at to minimize issues.
