Fed up of disconnecting players, here is the solution.

Already does this.

I didn't realize that.  I was thinking it was only for chat.

So you're NOT a native Thai? Thanks for crushing my dream. *cries in corner and derails thread*

I'm feeling sorry for you but what was your Thai dream?

I'll tell you when you're older.

No!

Why you think me not Thai?

Intuition.

You said that you're American. Didn't you?

resigning after one minute IS the solution, if you don't care bout rank

plus then you get to play worse players :D

It isn't? It encourages more disconnecting.

There is no solution because a lot of the time the person loses the internet connection through no fault of their own, they did not purposely disconnect.

Correct.

Perhaps. I'm, a typical lazy Amereican, so I won't bother going back and checking.

Good for you.

According to this thread http://www.chess.com/forum/view/livechess/new-logic-for-auto-pairing-and-seek-graph constant disconnectors are paired with other constant disconnectors.  I've noticed a significant drop in the number of d/cers that I play since these new stuffs were implemented.

So Online Chess is better?!

Sometimes people disconnect because the connection goes down.
