On longer timed games I have sat up to just under 15 minutes waiting for my opponent to move. More recently I have been credited with a win when my opponent did not move for about 5 minutes. Perhaps you were slow to move?
Abandonment
Sort:
Seems like it may be a glitch then. Perhaps you should contact the site. Give them a link to the game, along with an explanation of what happened. After I had replied to you earlier, I seemed to have recalled the same thing happening to me. I thought perhaps I had hit a button, but it did not say I resigned. I had just shrugged it off as some mistake I must have made. I will never find that game now and bringing to a moderator with a I think this happened really does no good without them being able to see the game. If
continued.......... if people do not bring this to their attention, then they will never be aware of it and it will never get fixed.

Sounds like you may have been disconnected from the Live server process.

Some games seem to be won or lost due to abandonment . Get rid of this. It doesn't work. If someone tries to wait and see if you'll resign as they are losing just block them in future
