Disconnect Cheat Glitch
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
Just been "disconnected" as I was about to win....this happened to me at least a hundred times but today I felt the need to search if this had happened to somebody else....and I found your thread...MGleason and VintagePawn, you seem to be quite sure that there is no cheat and that your opponent cannot disconnect you(and you might be right) but...this happens to me on a regular bases (several times a day)...I play from my phone, my Ipad and my computer...I travel a lot between countries and change servers and internet providers very often and yet....it keeps on happening. These "internet problems" only happen if I connect to play a game on chess.com, if I connect to work (or for any other reason) I don't often lose my connection.......Also, I recently got in the habit of checking the profile of opponents who beat me after a disconnection...in most cases, their profile is completely empty, with no history whatsoever...isn't that strange?...Also, if somehow I find a way to reconnect fast enough (by restarting my internet and reconnecting to chess.com) then my opponent plays completely ridiculous moves and loses all of its material in no time....it is like playing a GM and then a beginner in the same game...this said, I love the game and chess.com no matter what.
Is everyone having these problems using an app? If so, what app and what phone?

I’m having this problem which is very aggravating. Seems odd it only happens when I’m losing. What ever is happening it does not make me want to pay for the service

Update. I was clearly losing and won on time, so I think maybe if your on WiFi and cell data is on but goes out of range you could possibly get disconnected, idk???
As said earlier I started really paying attention to this pbm recently but I noticed it for years. Now here is something weird: since my post, I tried different "tricks".Most of the time I play from my computer and it is from this device I get disconnected the most...except that I now open two windows: on one of them I play a random youtube video, on the other, I play on chess.com...and since then, no more disconnecting....weird but it works for me 
Very strange, I pretty much always have at least two tabs open.

Chess.com sucks because of disconnect cheating
That doesn't exist. Why would you post on a year-old thread?
Still happens, only when i have a winning position And i have ONLY open chess.com and nothing else, any streams, nothing...

This happened to me just now. It's happened to me maybe 30-40 times in the past few years.

What if your opponent deliberately disconnects in order to try and cause some server issues when they reconnect. Just lost a game due to connection issues and not happy.

There is no logic to this. You guys are disconnecting and then jumping to ridiculous conclusions because you are upset you lost rating points when you should have gained some.
Who cares about rating? I play chess because I enjoy playing chess. If my rating is lower than it should be, then I play weaker opponents and therefore get to play more attacking chess, which is good. So I really don't care if I lose rating points, I'll enjoy getting them back.
believe you undstand the epitome of chess!! We win some/lose some

If your opponent disconnects, that causes them to lose on time: only your connection can cause you to lose on time.

That isn't something that happens here. The two clients never directly connect, so your opponent can't impact your connection to the live server.
I experience this today. In past year i not experience never, but now i experience it 2 times with 1 player at same match. I experience connect problems after i am winning clear. After that match i player with other people and i not experience any problem.

Again, your opponent has no way to do this. Their computer never talks to yours. The only way they could do this would be if they somehow gained control of the whole live server, and if they did that they would have access to much bigger stuff than simply cheating in the occasional game.
Connection glitches happen randomly at times. Causes could include a connection problem on your end, a connection problem for the server (although that would affect a lot of people), a connection problem somewhere between you and the server, or a server bug.
