Game not ending and can't start a new game

Sort:
brandonvmoore

My opponent suddenly stopped making moves in this game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/33299369427

Now his time has run out, but I have not been awarded the win. The game is just frozen and I am not able to start a new game because this one is still in progress. How do I end this game without resigning?

I'm currently encountering the same issue. https://www.chess.com/game/live/33300009007

Any help?

Hi both, 

There was a server restart so these games won't count 

Thanks

Happened to me twice just now. Now I feel bad for reporting my opponent for stalling sad.png

Damn, that happened to me right now. He ran out of time but it says reconnecting... I don't want to lose rating points as I just joined here from chess 24

And now I cannot find that tournament tab..

I don't think these games count, as @StumpyBlitzer said. They didn't count for me.

It doesn't say that I won or lost but I was beating my opponent, I'm thankful that I wasn't actually reconnecting but am still annoyed at that.

Don't worry, there are plenty of other opponents for you to beat once they fix it grin.png

I made the mistake of resigning the game that was frozen since I thought it did not count, and I ended up losing my rating. cry.png
